The Museum of Newfoundland Fishermen is an institution dedicated to preserving and promoting the memory of Saint-Malo shipowners and sailors engaged in fishing off Newfoundland. Located in Saint-Malo in Ille-et-Vilaine, it continues the historical legacy of a region strongly connected to transatlantic expeditions. The museum documents deep-sea fishing practices, notably the use of the dory, an emblematic vessel of these expeditions. Run by the Association for the Memory and Heritage of Newfoundland Fishermen, it offers photographic collections and life stories that shed light on this specific maritime heritage. The museum appeals to both local residents and visitors eager to understand this major chapter in Breton economic and cultural history.
