Honfleur: the harbor and the ships

Located just in the city center, the harbor has always been the favorite subject of the photographers. That's why now most of postcards show the docks and their activities. 

It would be nowadays quite difficult to find a postcard showing something else than the harbor with its famous houses, but in these old days, many postcards were taken not only in the heart of the city but also in commercial docks showing fishermen or even commercial ship and the docks.
