Fishing Boats on the River Erdre, Nantes, France: A Timeless Tradition This photograph showcases a scene of tranquility and tradition on the River Erdre in Nantes, France. The photograph features several bateau-style fishing boats, with their small, flat bottoms and straight sides, suspended between the riverbanks. This boat design, which can be traced back to as early as 1671 on the Saint Lawrence River in French Quebec, is a testament to the enduring history of these watercraft. What sets these boats apart is their unique method of fishing, which involves the use of Chinese fishing nets. The nets, suspended between two poles and hoisted with pulleys, are a testament to the global exchange of techniques and knowledge that has shaped fishing practices throughout history. Though this photograph was taken in the 1910s, the scene remains remarkably unchanged. The boats and their methods continue to be used by fishermen in various parts of the world, most notably in Fort Kochi (Fort Cochin) in the Indian State of Kerala. Here, the boats and their distinctive fishing methods have become an integral part of the local culture and a popular tourist attraction. The photograph captures the essence of a simple, yet essential activity that has connected communities and sustained livelihoods for centuries. The bateau boats and their Chinese nets represent a rich and enduring tradition that transcends borders and continues to captivate our imagination.
