Mathurin Meheut. La mer et les marins. Essais les contemporains et la postérité"From my childhood, I was attracted by the ocean () I had to devote my life to it () I became attached to the workers of the sea, to the fighters of the sea, to those who feel it so closely in their bodies that it gives them this inimitable allure and character." Mathurin Mheut (acceptance speech at the Naval Academy, 1956).
