Sailing and sailing the Steamer in full performance spitting smoke from its three proud chimneys. This bottle boat carries the French flag and proudly bears the M.M. brand of its Messageries Maritimes company from its foundation (in Marseille in 1851 to its dissolution in 1977), on a white background in a red frame it proudly traces its route on a sea stormy; it has several pontoons; it's a liner...... How could this mute witness end up here behind its cap embroidered with woolen threads in three Patriotic colors... A charming and touching piece of Curiosity in addition to performance of stopping a ship full steam in a bottle! (stake of 33 in the language of the building to designate a bottle of wine, in this case from Bordeaux).....
