Naval Yards of Maisons-Laffitte, circa 1946

01

Artifact Overview

Following World War II, Ettore Bugatti built a small number of watercraft at his Maisons-Laffitte naval yards near Paris. Prototypes of the Type 75 You-You boat were produced in three different lengths, with space in the bow for a small inboard motor. The project ended soon after Bugatti's death in 1947, but not before thousands of brochures had been printed.
