Presentation of Compagnie des Voiliers Havrais

The law of 1893 granting a premium of 1.70 FRF per gross register ton and 1000 miles shipped boosted the building and exploitation of sailing ships (voiliers) in France. Accordingly, 200 2,000 to 3,000 ton ships (three and four-masters) were built within five years. Companies named Voiliers Dunkerquois, Voiliers Marseillais, Voiliers Nantais..., were created.
In Le Havre, Compagnie des Voiliers Havrais operated from 1899 to 1909 ships named after French cities: Ville de Mulhouse, Ville du Havre, Ville de Dijon, Ville de Belfort and Ville d'Orléans.
