  • TLF: "Concarneau Bay. The two masted luggers are of two types - one a ketch, as sketched, the other a schooner with the larger sail aft and the after mast stepped a little farther forward. Sails are invariably stained red, hulls are black, and the nets used in the sardine fishery are dyed a brilliant sky blue. With their masts and lugs scraped white, the fishermen are the image of seamanlike neatness, simplicity and beauty." [The Rudder, June 1948]
