Biography
Jacques Le Lavasseur (1861–1939) spent his life at sea as a skipper, guiding vessels and crews with an experienced hand that respected both the ocean’s demands and the safety of those aboard.
He returned to land for the final time in 1939 and now rests in Bordeaux’s Protestant cemetery on Rue Judaique, remembered by those who still recount his steady presence on the waves.
