EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of traditional maritime culture along the Emerald Coast of France during the 1910s. The image showcases a thrilling regatta featuring the distinctive Bisquine Cancalaises boats, native to Brittany in western France. These vessels, with their unique lugger sails and slender hulls, have been a staple of the region's fishing industry for centuries. The Bisquine Cancalaises boats, also known as Cancalaises, are named after the town of Cancale, located on the Emerald Coast. Their sleek design and versatility made them ideal for navigating the rough waters of the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean. In this photograph, the boats are seen racing against each other, their sails billowing in the wind, creating an exhilarating scene of competition and camaraderie. The Emerald Coast, or Côte d'Émeraude, is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and rich maritime heritage. The region's name comes from the emerald-green hue of its waters, which is particularly evident in this photograph. The Bisquine Cancalaises regatta is a testament to the enduring connection between the people of Brittany and the sea, as well as their love for the traditions and craftsmanship passed down through generations. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the history and culture of Brittany and the Emerald Coast. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving traditional maritime practices and the beauty of the natural world that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
