Conflans Sainte Honorine

Les navires-spécialisés trouvent également leur place sur les fleuves. C'est ainsi que l'on peut voir à Conflans Sainte Honorine, capitale française de la batellerie, plusieurs bateaux intéressants. Commençons par deux embarcations de la Gendarmerie Nationale :


puis Lieutenant Gillet, le bateau-pompe du SDIS 78 (Service Départemental d'Incendie et de Secours) :

Enfin, le remorqueur Jacques, remis en état (ainsi que deux autres bateaux) par les membres de l'Association des Amis du Musée de la Batellerie. Il faut féliciter les membres de cette association dont le site se trouve ici.


Special Purpose Ships can be seen on rivers, too. This is particularly right at Conflans Sainte Honorine, in the Impressionists Country. This little town is the main French place for inland vessels. A famous museum (located in Gevelot Castle) is dedicated to river's boats and their history. You can see on the pictures (from top to bottom) :
- two law inforcement boats, operated by "Gendarmerie Nationale",
- fire-boat Lieutenant Gillet,
- preserved tug, Jacques, belonging to "Association des Amis du Musée de la Batellerie" after being restaured by members. Here is the website of the association (English & Nederlands language available).

SISAK (IMO 8915562)

Here is Sisak, built 1989 for Danish government, located at Nuuk (Greenland) and used as a patrol boat by local police.


According Equasis, three similar vessels have been built later and placed on Greenland coast too. A picture of one of these boats is here.
