Musée des Epaves Sous-Marines

At the end of WW2 a large number of wrecks rested on the sea floor all along the Normandy coast, particularly at Arromanches the location of Port Winston of the artificial harbour.

In 1970 Jacques Lemonchois, the museum curator is asked by the French state to clear some of the dangerous wrecks. Jacques Lemonchois passion for history enabled him to save and preserve the items now displayed in the museum including a Sherman DD tank, M7 self-propelled gun and many personal effects.
