    Ar Vag Tredan

    The world first electric boat

    http://www.supercondensateur.com/bateau-electrique-a-supercondensateur-ar-vag-tredan

    It is used as boat bus in the harbor of Lorient where it was built.

    It is noiseless and when there is no wind its approach wake is really photogenic

    "Ar Vag Tredan" means in Breton language "electric boat"

    on LHS the white boat in the BG is the only rehabilitated tuna boat named "BICHE"

    I voluntarily cut the upper part to avoid the jumble of the quay.

    Nice capture of the patterns on the water as well as the capture of the boat.

    I thought lorient meant something as in the east of France. Now I know it's a place in Bretagne.

    I found an English version of your link https://www.supercaptech.com/superca...ates-in-france

    Thanks Susan Mike Nandakumar ..... and George for the translated version.

    Lorient was created in 1666 (they celebrated the 350 years of the city in 2016); Ships came to the East (l'Orient in French), since LORIENT is a harbor, military port, fishing port and obviously a marina.
    It's located in the south of Brittany (Bretagne) 150 km far from Nantes in the South, 150 km far from BREST,a little further north west, and 150 km far from RENNES, capital of the Brittany.
