A boat born from Neapolitan shipwrights
0

The word barquette or barqueto in Provence or Italy, where the marine carpenters who invented the barquette marseillaise come from, has been designating a small wooden boat for several centuries. The barquette marseillaise itself is linked to the Ruoppolo family, shipwrights from father to son, who emigrated from the Naples region at the end of the 19th century to settle in Marseille like many Italians. By adapting his manufacturing techniques to the needs of the Marseille fishermen and later yachtsmen, André Ruoppolo achieved posterity as the father of the barquette marseillaise.
