The Art of Wooden Shipbuilding

By Linda Tancs

Former home of the dukes of Brittany, Montoir-de-Bretagne has a rich maritime history. At the Brivet Wooden Maritime Museum, the history of wooden shipbuilding from the 16th to the end of the 19th century is explored. It’s a story of shipyards located on the Brivet River, along with its carpenters, blacksmiths and pulley makers. Admission is free.
