Removed erroneously attributed photo edit

This article previous had a photo purporting to be of this warship Dupleix, in dry dock, at Sydney (australia) in 1870. This photograph was misattributed. The photo is actually of a commercial ship Dupleix, which was operated between 1883 and 1888 between Sydney and Noumea for the Compagnie des Messageries Maritimes. The ship was sold and refurbished with new boilers in March 1889, and the photo was likely made at that time.Eregli bob (talk) 04:23, 25 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
