Love letters sent to French sailors have been opened for the first time in 265 years. For more than 265 years, these letters — along with more than 100 others sent to French prisoners — were left unread. A picture shows one of the long-lost letters addressed to french sailors over 265 years ago. Almost 20,000 French sailors were captured by the British military to thwart France's effort to crew their state-of-the-art ships during the Seven Year War. In 1758, out of 60,137 French sailors, a third were detained in Britain, according to the press release.

“These letters are about universal human experiences, they’re not unique to France or the 18th century,” Morieux said in a statement. Seeing that the small letters were still sealed, he asked whether correspondence could be opened and was granted permission. Next time you write to me, please do not forget your father,” his mother’s letter read. “Here is a son who clearly doesn’t like or acknowledge this man as his father,” Morieux said. The contents of the letters written to the crew of the Galatée have fascinated him, and he wants to keep pulling that thread.
