As obb said, she is the patroness of those at sea. There is no legend connected to it, it is one of many titles of Mary, especially in Western Europe. </p><p>During the French Revolution the statue was burnt, the church became state property, and was later demolished.</p><p>In the early 19th century a new basilica was built. In one of the side chapels is a statue devoted to the destroyed &quot;Our Lady of the Sea&quot;.</p><p>The basilica and the statue are on your medallion.</p><p><br /></p><p>The basilica of &quot;Notre Dame de Boulogne&quot;:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]465234[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The 19th century chapel:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]465233[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
