THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE Photograph by F. S . Lincoln HEIRS OF A SEAFARING RACE ARE THE FISHERFOLK OF DIEPPE Their ancestors were Scandinavian sea rovers who a thousand years ago beached their dragon-prowed galleys on the northern shores of France and gave their name to a province-Normandy, land of the Norse men. Aboard this boat the fishermen prepare their gear for a voyage, inspecting the lines which lie coiled on deck. The last catch was carried to market in the big baskets and sold by the woman, who now sits quietly by, seemingly content to be near her men during the short time they are moored at home. 624
