A naval past steeped in nostalgia
0
0
If in the past the most famous shipyard in Marseille for the construction of the barquettes marseillaises was Ruoppolo's where Michele, the father, André, the son, then Michel Gay, the grandson, built barquettes for almost a century, traditional local shipyards have taken up the torch. Today the workshops Borg (photo) in the Pharo cove, Scotto in Saint-Victor, Mare Nostra towards Estaque, Trapani in Cassis, and Les Charpentiers Réunis de la Méditerranée in La Ciotat perpetuate this know-how. They keep manufacturing and restoring barquettes marseillaises, true figureheads of a naval past steeped in nostalgia.
