Description
The Belem, a famous French ship, has a captivating history that goes back more than a century. Launched in 1896, this majestic three-masted barque has crossed the oceans of the world, carrying various cargoes. But one of the most significant moments in its history came at the beginning of the last century, when it miraculously survived the devastating eruption of Mount Pelée in Martinique. In 1902, while in the Caribbean region, the Belem witnessed the deadly eruption of Mount Pelée, which devastated the city of Saint-Pierre. Thanks to the prudence of its captain and the robustness of its construction, the Belem was able to escape the flames and ash that engulfed the region. This ordeal marked the history of the ship, testifying to its resilience and strength in the face of nature's most devastating elements.printed on 300 gr vellum paper.
