Dedicated to tuna fishing during the months from June to October, this fishery reached Mauritania's coast in trips of up to two months. Leaving the French port of Concarneau, the Marie Jeanne sailed between 1900 and 1950. Tuna fishing requires strong and fairly fast boats. At the end of the 19th Century, new types of fishing were developed, small and with large sails. The advances and the tendency towards motor propulsion contributed to the disappearance of these elegant fishing boats of multi-coloured sails.
