To your memories! By the end of this year the ship Insula Oya 2 which has ensured for 40 years the link between the island of Yeu and the continent will pass by the hand and cease its rotations. It will be replaced by the Insula Oya 3, the construction of which was completed this summer in Concarneau. But the Yeu Continent company wants to preserve the memory of this ship. It therefore organizes a collection until the end of September: photos, films, objects, postcards, models. And even offer to collect your testimonies and anecdotes orally.
“It’s a beautiful story, it’s this umbilical cord that connects the island of Yeu to the mainland – Explain Tony Erceau commercial attaché at the company Yeu Continent – the inhabitants are very attached to the boat because life is punctuated by these passages, we are ready to move to capture orality to record anecdotes, collect photos, films or even models“.
Objects, whatever they are, can be sent or dropped off until September 30 at the Yeu Continent counters at the Fromentine and Île d’Yeu ferry terminals. Copies of documents can also be sent by email: [email protected].
