«Histoires de vieux gréements» is the illustrated maritime history work by Dominique Le Brun, published by Sélection du Reader's Digest in hardcover (259 pages, in French).
The book brings together nearly forty old sailing ships of very different sizes and origins, and portrays both the vessels and the people who built, restored, or crewed them. It includes photographs of bisquines, caboteiros, schooners, frigates, and large training tall ships such as the Belem or the Amerigo Vespucci, with thematic pages on sails, sailors' sayings, storms, and shipwrecks. The volume opens with a dialogue between Maud Fontenoy and Patrick Poivre d'Arvor about their shared love of the sea.
Illustrated work in French. The Open Library record indicates 259 pages, while isbndb lists 159; the most consistent publication date is 2008. The back cover mentions that the book includes a CD of sea shanties, although there is no visual confirmation of that extra.
