Historic England and its French counterpart, Drassm, carried out detailed surveys of 30 wrecks linked to Operation Dynamo in the Second World War.
The locations of three boats used in the Dunkirk evacuation in the Second World War have been uncovered for the first time by a detailed survey of 30 shipwrecks off the French coast.
Now Historic England and its French counterpart, Drassm, have carried out detailed surveys of 30 wrecks showing their position, characteristics and condition in “remarkable detail”. “We’re pleased that a geophysicist from the UK, commissioned by Historic England, has been integral to the survey that has successfully captured these details alongside Drassm’s incredible team of scientists.“The results give us a striking insight into our shared heritage that still lies beneath the waters off Dunkirk.”
The instrument emits a fan of sound that is recorded as it bounces off the seabed, and the data is used by geophysicists to create a highly detailed three-dimensional image of seabed features such as shipwrecks.A total of 27 Operation Dynamo wrecks were located and studied, with the precise location of 12 of these not previously known.
