Description

Pytheas is a Greek explorer, considered one of the greatest scientific explorers of his time (340-325 BC).

Many ships have or have been the same name. Like the wreck that lies in front of the port of Port-Vendres since 120 years.This wreck sometimes not considered with respect in comparaison with others (less deep, less well preserved, parts dislocated ...) is after all a very interesting site to discover.

Many parts are still visible:
- Boiler carpeted with sea fans
- Octopus
- The keel
- The propeller shaft

She is accessed to many divers, and despite its 120 years of immersion, it bears witness to a story still alive today.
