Caption: Nieuport-Ville, Les Quais et l'entrepot

This is a postcard of an ex-Lowestoft drifter in Belgium and the formation was kindly provided by Gino Provost, a Belgium researcher who is interested in the fishing fleet from that side of the channel. His email to me says--

I've found a new ex-Lowestoft smack that came to Belgium:
LT.940 "True to the Core", built in Lowestoft in 1905. Came to Belgium as the N.14 "True to the Core" on May 1913. Owner unknown. The N.14 was sunk by a German U-boat U.54 on 02/02/1918 near Cape d'Antifer (near Le Havre). The crew escaped in their lifeboat and were rescued by the P.78 "Norma". (P= De Panne)

He sent scans of postcards with of the boat, Card L1329, Card L1331, Card L1332.
