Bordeaux Harbour in the 1860's

The new road and slipway at Bordeaux was constructed in 1888.

Before the road was constructed the seaward breakwater section extended across the beach (as shown in the photograph here) to what was previously a high tide island, le Poincon, on which stood a fisherman's stone store (shown on the far right) (la Vielle Maison du Havre de Bordeaux) which may have been used by Victor Hugo as the Bu de la Rue, Gilliat's house in Toilers of the Sea.
