The sunken treasures of Brittany: from Brest to Lorient
The sunken treasures of Brittany: from Brest to Lorient by Alexis Deniau, Benjamin Pepy, Emmanuel Gourvil
Summary:
After the success of the Fabulous Sunken Treasures of the Bay of Saint-Malo, a book that has been reprinted twice, three erudite divers have embarked on a new underwater adventure: to tell the story of the main wrecks that lie dormant at the bottom of the ocean, between Brest and Lorient. In other words, to tell the frightening story of sailors caught in a storm, whose proud ship will suddenly sink body and soul. It also tells the story of the two world wars, since many ships and submarines were sunk by torpedoes or mines. Divers have found these wrecks and their astonishing cargoes; with maps to back them up, they locate them, detail them and explain them thanks to superb underwater photos. This book is therefore a rich picture book, a history book to dream about, and a perfect pedagogical manual for all divers who will want to explore the wrecks of the Iroise Sea and the Atlantic.
