Tintin and Haddock's Maritime Adventures

The maritime world holds a significant place in Hergé's work: out of twenty-three Tintin adventures, fifteen albums feature boats. From the Ramona to the Pachacamac, the Sirius to the Unicorn, and of course, the extraordinary submarine of Professor Calculus, this theme allowed Hergé to explore a multitude of subjects: friendship, especially with Captain Haddock, piracy, treasure hunting, slavery... This updated album retraces the maritime adventures of our two heroes. It inventories the fleet of boats created by Hergé and gives more space to all the real or imaginary sailors who have sailed the seas of Tintin's adventures or haunted its ports. It demonstrates Hergé's striking technical realism in navigation and geographical settings, offering all his readers the chance to (re)discover the meticulous art of a genius artist who continues to make us dream...
