Les arsenaux de marine en France

A maritime power must maintain arsenals to build its fleet and keep it in sailing condition.
Industrial complexes without equivalent at the time of the wooden navy, the large arsenals of the 17th and 18th centuries provided a living for thousands of workers: engineers, carpenters, riggers or supply ships, etc.
Suffice to say that Cherbourg, Brest, Lorient, Indret, Rochefort, Ruelle, Toulon and even Saint-Tropez identified with their arsenal!

François Bellec puts the history of French naval arsenals into perspective, going back to ancient origins. Over time, political fluctuations have modulated the load plans, the numbers have varied, the men have adapted to new tools?
Supported by a rich old iconography, recent photographs as well as works by the Official Painters of the Navy, this book traces the evolution of the buildings of the Royal and then the Navy, from the first flagships to nuclear submarines.
