Simplified Wreck Survey
The Eddy M Laurence is a historic shipwreck located in the Bay of Biscay off the Atlantic coast of France, situated near Ile de Noirmoutier at coordinates 46 57.198 N, 2 24.835 W. Identified in hydrographic survey records as a six-masted schooner, the vessel rests on a seabed with a general depth of around 7 meters and presents a shallow underwater obstruction with a least depth between 4.7 and 5 meters (approximately 2.75 fathoms). First reported around 1918 to 1919 and cataloged across multiple French naval chart surveys, the wreck position is charted with an accuracy of approximately 500 meters. The shallow clearance of this maritime heritage site makes it an important point of reference for navigators, divers, and marine researchers exploring coastal shipwrecks in French Atlantic waters.
