THE BELEM
The Belem, listed as a historic monument in 1984, is one of the oldest sailing ships in the world
Born in the Dubigeon shipyards of Chantenay, the Belem will celebrate its 130th birthday on the Quai de la Fosse, during its 2025-2026 wintering in Nantes. At 58 meters long and equipped with 22 sails, the last French merchant sailing ship of the 19th century inherited her name from her crossings to Belem, Brazil. Classified as a historic monument in 1984, she is one of the oldest sailing ships in the world. Both a school ship and a museum, it can be visited during its stopovers. The Belem regularly takes part in far-flung voyages, playing its role as ambassador of the French flag.

Je l'avais vu à Brest sans pouvoir le visiter et espérais le découvrir plus tranquillement à Nantes. raté !
Tant pis, l'occasion d'une belle photo d'extérieur quand même.
