EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Breton fishermen engaging in the traditional practice of Chasse-Maree, or 'following the waves,' off the coast of Brittany, France, circa 1880. The image transports us back in time to an era when the sea provided the primary livelihood for the region's inhabitants. The Chasse-Maree was a communal fishing method used by Breton fishermen to catch fish in the shallow waters near the shore. The technique involved the use of small, flat-bottomed boats called 'fishing sledges' or 'chasse-marees,' which were pulled by teams of men along the shore as the waves carried them out to sea. As the boats were carried out, the fishermen would cast their nets into the water and retrieve their catch when the boats were returned to the shore. The photograph shows several fishermen in traditional Breton attire, huddled together as they pull a chasse-maree through the shallow water. The boat is laden with nets and fishing gear, and the men's faces are etched with the determination and focus required for a successful catch. In the background, other fishermen can be seen wading in the water, casting their nets as the waves carry their boats out to sea. The Chasse-Maree was an essential part of Breton fishing culture for centuries, and this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the communal spirit and hard work that defined the lives of these coastal communities. Today, while the practice has largely been replaced by more modern fishing methods, the legacy of the Chasse-Maree lives on as an important part of Brittany's rich maritime history.
