Sailing ships at dock in Saint-Malo


The Sailing ship is still a reality here in Saint-Malo where the tradition of sailing and maratime activity goes back to the founding of the city in Roman times. The corsaires and filibustres who frequented the taverns of this port were well known and feared names on the high seas even more so than Capt. Jack Sparrow who is so well known by todays cinema goers. Some of the stories are worthy of a Holliwood production or two. My father was a seaman and I was born not far from the docks myself 52 years ago so my love of all ships sailing or Cargo is unconditional. By the way if you want to buy it don't hesitate to get in touch.
