Simplified Wreck Survey
The shipwreck Bettina is a historically recorded underwater obstruction located in the Mediterranean Sea, specifically off the coast of the Rhône Delta, France. The wreck is situated at the precise coordinates 43 19.934 N, 04 42.892 E, positioned south of the Faraman semaphore near the mouth of the Rhône River. Historically documented as a schooner, the site is classified by the UK Hydrographic Office as a submerged wreck. Over the decades, various maritime surveys have recorded the vessel at slightly shifting positions in the nearshore waters, reflecting the dynamic nature of the seabed in this region. This underwater wreck remains a significant point of interest for maritime charting and navigation safety in the Gulf of Lion.
