The G. Montcalm schooner

A black and white photograph. In the foreground, a young man and woman are sitting on the grass near a tree. Behind them there is a wooden ship, on which three people are barely discernible. The boat seems to float on a narrow canal.

Two of Joseph’s children, Valentine and Roger posing in front of the G. Montcalm, the new family schooner. They had probably been travelling with their father and older brother Gérard during the summer break.
