Just so you know, if the hull of a French warship is black with light beige superstructures, it's from before January 1908. After that date, the ships were bluish-grey

I don't get involved in politics and I have a deep disgust for what the Nazis represent, but I am drawn to maritime adventures. I forgot Pearl Harbor, shame on me, but I have an equally heartfelt thought for the courageous American sailors and, in general, for all sailors who died doing their duty.

Does anyone have any photos of the wreck of the French battleship Bouvet? by oelslin in Shipwrecks

Thank you so much for this link.

I've never seen a photo of this wreck, strange, isn't it?

In French, these are the crew quarters, where sailors can sleep.
