The Compagnie générale transatlantique, shipowner for Caribbean coastal trade,
first title in the Documents series of young publisher Scitep, has just been issued.
Its author, Roger Jaffray was marine officer of the merchant navy, then
administrator for Maritime affairs from 1960 to 1988, including some 15 years in the
French West Indies and Guyana. He has been living in Martinique since 1988, where
from he keeps looking into the changes in local maritime life. For my part, I had the
honor and pleasure to make the watercolour painting of this book's cover.
