Pages d'histoire maçonnique ou Les loges de la mer by J.M. Van Hille explores the historical development and activities of Masonic lodges associated with maritime communities. Drawing on archival research and lodge records, the book examines how Freemasonry intersected with naval and merchant shipping cultures, particularly in French-speaking regions. It documents rituals, membership patterns, and the social role of these lodges during the 18th and 19th centuries. The work provides insight into the spread of Enlightenment ideals through seafaring networks and the adaptation of Masonic traditions within port cities and aboard ships. As part of the FM-Bibliothèque series, it serves as a specialized resource for historians of fraternal organizations and maritime heritage.
