Catalogue raisonné des Maquettes de Navires du Musée de Fécamp : This is the exact title of this beautiful book. It lists the treasures of the Fécamp Museum piece by piece (without forgetting any!) and presents them in broad daylight. From the local shipyard's study half-hull to the model of the modern trawler. This is a book for boat lovers as well as model making fans.
The interest of this book is both to show the entire collection, but also to present information on the model itself. For if we often see the name of the boat, its year of manufacture and information on its navigation, the indications on the model (name of the model maker, date of creation, circumstances...) are often hidden.
The edition of this catalogue of the Musée de Fécamp with 162 models shows the richness of this heritage. This book pays tribute to him. It is a pleasure to walk through it. One appreciates discovering the models of work boats, being more used to seeing large war sailing ships than fishing boats. But we sometimes regret the absence of some photos of details that would have made us even more aware of the quality of the work of these anonymous model builders.
