The ''Recouvrance'' is a replica gaff rigged schooner, named in honour of Recouvrance, one of the districts of Brest. ==History== The idea for ''Recouvrance'' was originally conceived in 1990. She was modeled on the plans for the ''Iris'', which was designed by the French naval engineer Hubert in 1817. Originally, there had been five vessels built from the ''Iris'' design, and these boats were employed in the early nineteenth century as courier vessels for the Navy. Eventually, their role was expanded to include surveillance and protection of merchant shipping off the African and West Indian coasts. The proposal for a replica vessel was taken up by several public and private interests in Brest, which formed the ''Goelette la Recouvrance'' organisation to oversee the project. Construction on the ship began in 1991, and employed both volunteer and paid labour. The partially completed ''Recouvrance'' was launched at the Brest '92 maritime festival, and her rig was completed a year later. In 1996, management of the vessel was transferred to SOPAB Brest. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Recouvrance (schooner)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
