« Sharing the Sea, sharing the Faith »
Featuring over 400
colourized vintage pictures !
This book originated from a trio of aspirations:
- Paying tribute to the Seafarers and the profession of fisherman;
– To introduce the reader to the birth of a port and its development;
– To restore the colour of life in old times: the colours of work conditions and of the religious ceremony called Benediction of the Sea.

« Sharing the Sea, sharing the Faith »
Port-en-Bessin is – and always was – a village focused on the sea, relying on its resources, as evidenced by its motto « Res nostra mare » – »Our Cause is the Sea ».
The village and its inhabitants have been shaped by their direct relationship with the sea, through love relationships, often tumultuous and sometimes tragic.

Ce livre sur Port-en-Bessin retrace la période de 1820-1939, et celle de la vie quotidienne des Portaises et Portais, des marins-pêcheurs et de leurs familles, embarquant aux rythmes des marées, soumis aux aléas climatiques… et transformant par leur volonté et leur solidarité l’histoire d’un
« petit port en grand Port ! ».
