Description

This semi-industrial trawler was built in 1957 in Saint-Nazaire at the Ateliers et chantiers des Forges de l'Ouest. It is a "classic" trawler, i.e. fishing on the side. It is at the time built for an armament lorientais the armament Thuerre-Le Huédé, under the name of Pactole. He then left for La Rochelle. In 1971, the concarnois shipping company Pierre Nicot bought it and named it Hémérica. He then fished in the North Atlantic. In 1981, he stopped fishing. In 1984 it was integrated into the Concarneau Fishing Museum and moored against the enclosed town.
