Excerpt from Le Programme Maritime de 1900-1906
Nombre de gens en France, se montrent systématique ment hostiles à toute augmentation de notre puissance maritime.
Parmi ceux-là, les uns ignorent la mer ou n'en con naissent que les aspects pittoresques. N'ayant jamais parcouru les grandes routes qui la sillonnent, ils ne voient dans les océans que de gigantesques abîmes creusés par quelque malicieuse force surnaturelle pour isoler les conti neuts les uns des autres et séparer éternellement les races qui les peuplent. Il leur reste dans l'esprit quelque chose des superstitions qui poussaient le navigateur antique a implorer le pardon des dieux en mettant le pied sur la nef qui bientüt violerait, sous l'effort dela rame ou du vent, la majestueuse virginité de la terrible mer aux flots bleus.
