Douarnenez prawner on the Smalls in the early 1980s. This type of vessel is known as the 'classique', when the photo was taken a handful of new design fully shelterdecked stern trawlers were beginning to appear. In the space of a few years almost all the fleet in the major Breton ports of St Guenole, Guilvenec, Loctudy, Douarnenez, Lorient and Concarneau were replaced, some 200+ boats.
