Hiking
"On October 2, 1859, near Port-Navalo, the sea threw up a corpse that had been in the water for more than two months and that no one could recognize: He was a man in his thirties. On the waistcoat and the trousers, copper buttons with anchors and cannons".
Tragic destiny for this young sailor now called "the Little Moss".
On the doctor's advice, the body, which was difficult to transport, was "wrapped in a white sheet" and buried on the spot.
