Ship graveyard of Landévennec

The ship graveyard extends along the final curve of the Aulne River, containing multiple decommissioned naval vessels awaiting their final destination at various anchor points.

The French Navy established this maritime storage facility in 1840 to accommodate reserve fleet vessels and their crews, maintaining a permanent presence of 200 sailors.

The site contains vessels from different naval eras, including the anti-submarine frigate Primauguet and the Soviet-built hydrofoil ferry Kometa, representing maritime technological evolution.

Located at coordinates 48°17'13"N and 4°16'43"W, the graveyard maintains a constant water depth of 10 meters regardless of tidal conditions.

German forces utilized this naval facility during World War II until August 1944, when resistance members sabotaged the school ship Armorique stationed at the site.
