Archaeologists Find France's Deepest Shipwreck
- In early March 2025, archaeologists located a sunken vessel from the 1500s resting over 2.5 kilometers beneath the sea near Saint-Tropez in southeastern France.
- The discovery occurred after an underwater drone, part of a government seabed exploration project, stumbled upon the shipwreck by chance, prompting further investigation.
- Experts found about 200 jugs with pinched spouts, piles of yellow plates, two cauldrons, six cannons, and identified the ship as largely intact and named the site 'Camarat 4'.
- Arnaud Schaumasse, who leads the underwater archaeology division at the culture ministry, stated that the discovery marks the deepest sunken vessel located within France’s maritime boundaries, found at a depth of 2,567 meters.
- Researchers plan to create a 3D digital model and extract samples for study, highlighting the site's exceptional preservation and providing insights into 16th-century Mediterranean trade.
