Les Vedettes Blanches, Maritime monument in Dinard, France
The AB 1 vessel, part of Les Vedettes Blanches fleet, measures 20.63 meters in length and 4.63 meters in width, accommodating up to 150 passengers.
Built in 1935, the AB 1 vessel was intentionally sunk in 1939 to prevent German forces from seizing it during World War II.
The vessel represents a significant part of local maritime heritage, connecting Saint-Malo and Dinard before the construction of the Rance Bridge.
Starting July 2024, the vessel, renamed Commandant O'Neill, will resume operations offering heritage discovery tours between Saint-Malo and Dinan.
The steel-built vessel underwent extensive restoration work, including hull repairs and interior improvements, while maintaining its original character.
