This ship and its story is seemingly one of the inspirations for the setting events in Jacques Tardi's graphic novel, Le démon des glaces (The Demon of Ice), 1974. [5] Set in 1889, a passenger ship named L'Anjou is passing through the Barents Sea when it has a fatal encounter with another called The Iceland Loafer, which has somehow become frozen atop a huge iceberg.
Numerous French fishing boats were found in the 19th century on Icelandic coasts. They had their main base in Fáskrúðsfjörður . Between 1850 and 1914, there were up to 5,000 men from Brittany during the seasons, so that at the end of the nineteenth century, the French government had also sent some of the hospital ships to support them.
