Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck known as President Leroy Lallier is located at coordinates 48 58 N, 05 13 W in the western approaches to the English Channel off the coast of Brittany, France. Historical survey records indicate the vessel sank in April 1918 near this position, which has been historically documented under various military and maritime identifiers including HMT Armoth Castle. The site has been subject to multiple hydrographic surveys over the decades, leading to its classification as a shipwreck obstruction. While historical records previously listed the wreck as a submerged hazard, later amendments to maritime charts have transitioned its status. This underwater site remains a point of interest for maritime history research regarding early 20th-century vessel losses in the North Atlantic region.
