Sailor’s Companion

Description

Section of the coastline of Brittany, the west coast of Northern France, had always been known by sailors to be a rugged and dangerous area. Being the westernmost point of land, it is a heavily trafficked sealane, and also experiences severe weather during much of the year. 22 tons of soap and tallow were spread on the slipway to lubricate the ship’s passage into the River Lagan.
