Mauritius Ship Models | Boat Models in Mauritius This model is that of a classical Tuna fishing boat that first appeared from the fishing ports of La Rochelle and Sables d'Olonnes on the Bay of Biscay. 1883 was a terrible year for the French tune fishing fleet and the frequent Atlantic storm systematically caused tremendous loss of both ships and the lives of the renewed hardened French fishermen. A well-known owner called Pierre Baron had the idea of transforming the standard type of tuna fisher to present day lives. It was successful that all new Tuna fishermen began to transform their boats according to his specification. Today, that extraordinary seaman is still referred as the father of the Atlantic Tuna Fisher. It is worth nothing that prices for the construction of this ship rose from 14000 francs in 1914 to 300000 in 1937.

Mauritius Ship Models | Boat Models in Mauritius Ce modele est celui des thonniers classiques qui firent leur apparition dans les ports de la Rochelle et des Sables d'Olonnes dans la baie de Biscaye. 1883 fut une annee terrible pour la flotte des Thoniers francais, les tempetes frequentes de L'Atlantique causaient systematiquement des pertes considerables au niveau des bateaux mais aussi de la renommee des marins pecheurs francais. Un illustre proprietaire du nom de Pierre Baron eut l'idee de modifier le caractere standard des Thoniers pour arriver aux modeles actuels. Il remporta un tel success que la majorite des pecheurs de Thons commencerent a transformer leurs bateaux selon ces nouvelles specificites. De nos jours, cet extraordinaire marin est toujours une reference en tant que pere des Thoniers de l'Atlantique. Il n'est pas etonnant que le cout de construction de ce navire soit passé de 14000FF en 1914 a environ 300000 FF en 1937.
