Heritage showcases

The media library invites you on a cruise through its heritage collections on boats, to discover the prodigious destiny of floating constructions, from the Sarthe to the oceans.
Today, ships are still the most imposing machines in our society. From rafts to transatlantic liners, from drakkars to the Titanic, from caravels to trawlers, they have remained the major instruments of knowledge and trade over the centuries.
Let yourself be carried away in the wake of our selection on the art of navigation, maritime expeditions of conquest, trade or pleasure, where ancient technical representations go hand in hand with the poetry of an ocean-going vessel setting off on an adventure.
So let's cast off and set sail!
