The law of 1893 granting a premium of 1.70 FRF per gross register ton and 1000 miles shipped boosted the building and exploitation of sailing ships (voiliers) in France. Accordingly, 200 2,000 to 3,000 ton ships (three and four-masters) were built within five years. Companies named Voiliers Nantais, Voiliers Marseillais, Voiliers Havrais..., were created.
Société des Voiliers Dunkerquois, founded in 1900 in Dunkirk, operated six ships named after local seamen, Van Strabel, Jean Bart, Jacobsen, L'Hermite, Cornil Bart and Faulconnier.
Another three sailing ships, Brizeux, Alice Marie and Bérengère, were subsequently purchased from other companies. The ships transported oil in cases (thid was before the creation of the specialized tankers), nickel from New Caledonia and coal to Chile. The company sold its ships in 1924 and disappeared.
