Presentation

Visiting friends,
The museum is intended to be the memory of the shipbuilding of the Estuary - of Paimboeuf, Nantes and Saint-Nazaire.
The Fort, located in Saint-Brevin-les-Pins near the "Serpent of the Ocean", has housed the Mindin Marine Museum since 1983.
This museum is intended to be the memory of the shipbuilding of the estuary in Nantes.
In 2023, from May 2 to mid-October, we offer visitors, in addition to our permanent collection, temporary exhibitions always related to the sea.
You have just crossed the door of the Fort de Mindin built in 1861 under Napoleon III.
At that time, several forts were born on the coasts of France. Thus that of Belle-Ile-en-Mer, which then became the home of Sarah Bernard, or that of the island of Groix, facing Lorient, or even that of the Saint-Mathieu point near Brest, now a cenotaph, memorial to the sailors who died for France.
Until 1920, Mindin Fort was occupied by the Army. Like many of them, it was sold soon after the end of World War I and became private property.
During World War II, it was occupied by the German army, which razed the floor to install an anti-aircraft defense battery.
At the end of the 1970s, the town hall of Saint-Brevin bought it back and restored it entirely, without however rebuilding the upper part. In 1979, its animation was entrusted to the Amicale du Musée de la Marine, created the same year.
It was its volunteer members who then set it up and keep it alive today by organizing thematic exhibitions, including this year featuring 7 different themes.
