Shipwrecks around Yeu Island - Volume 2, Second World War

Shipwrecks around Yeu Island - Volume 2, Second World War by Association Anges

Summary:

"Shipwrecks around the Ile d'Yeu"... The shipwrecks described in this book were all dived from this beautiful "rock" anchored off the Vendée. Nevertheless, you will see that the area covered is vast since it extends from 23 nautical miles south of Belle-Ile-en-Mer, incorporates the Loire estuary and goes down to opposite Les Sables-d'Olonne. Moreover, this book is aimed at a much wider public than just divers.
Of course, you will find geodetic coordinates and descriptions of some wrecks particularly desired by the webbed visitors, but this is far from being the main thing. In addition to the story of their sinking, you will discover the life of the ships and their sailors as well as the reasons that led them to their final resting place, the context of their time, their place in the History that was contemporary to them.
Many of them participated in the Second World War, taking part in various episodes, some of them surprising and unknown, as well as in epic naval battles. Others were victims of a seaquake or a violent storm, sometimes causing human tragedy. You will also discover, through underwater photos, that wrecked steel has become an oasis of life, where the wonder of the wildlife is, at each dive, at the rendezvous.
Enjoy reading and diving on these wrecks and in their history.
