Lobster Fishing boat

Before the mid-nineteenth century, lobster fishing was well known on the coast of Cape Sizun. During the 1860s, fishermen would Paimpol Sein Island in summer, from May to October. These fishermen fished lobsters with traps in small open vessels.

During the fishing season, where they were to live on the island, in one of the springs that they named "Paimpolais dock", the islanders were preparing to longline fishing. The collection and transport of crustaceans were performed in larger vessels with deposits belonging to wholesalers and distributors.

Paimpolais's presence on the island will greatly contribute to the expansion of the activities of the lobster in Cape Sizun.
