Louis XIV’s ship La Lune was wrecked off Toulon in November 1664. The ship was returning from an expedition to the Barbary Coast with nearly one thousand people on board, simple seamen or nobles of the highest rank. In an instant all was lost, men and their belongings, the cargo and the ship. Under pressure from the Sun King and his entourage, who planned to conceal the disaster, La Lune was quickly forgotten. Discovered by an Ifremer submarine in 1993, the wreck lies in 90 metres of water. In a state of magificent preservation, like some underwater Pompei, she will, starting in 2012, be the subject of an exceptional archeological investigation, bringing together history and robotics, the expertise of archeologists and the passion for the deep. Michel L’Hour, whose renown in the domain of underwater archeology needs no introduction, invites us on an exceptional dive. He goes down, as if in a live broadcast, to the wreck of La Lune / The Moon, the flagship of Louis XIV. A wreck that he considers to be unique in the world…

Fascinating, I was holding my breath as they collected the pottery. Would like to follow this story.

In deed a tragedy. He died in the belief that he might uncover the Lune for others to understand, even if remotely. Certainly a man of unquenchable curiosity, he was missed into the thinking that carbon fiber was such a magic material when in fact it is a brittle egg shell not worth the time invested to create it in the first place. I grieve his loss as a Tru scientist and family man. He died because of too much hype concerning the efficacy of carbon fiber. It doesn't even work in bicycle forks which refuse to hold a line of decent on a hill. You might have better luck using asbestos! It's so sad what lies and hype will do. Crass overcomercialization of frilly materials. No structural integrity. God rest you Mr. Nargeolet! And family.😢

You are aware that Boeing as well as Airbus are using carbon fibre to manufacture aircraft aren't you?

@pcka12 10 күн бұрын

A straightforward misunderstanding of materials science, carbon fibre is an excellent material in appropriate applications, the submersible which imploded was a misuse of the material!

Great presentation. However I do disagree with the statement, that it was unusual for ships to sink, around that time period. Just look at the number of Spanish galleons that sunk, in that century. Especially, in & around the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean, & Great Britain. They should rename the newtsuit, Robbie the Robot. A lot of similarities.

Ten minutes in and at least 6 mentions of treasure, this is income for France.

Ships the size of the Mary Rose and Peter Pomegranet were built without plans or designs? Just “bring up that Oak piece there Mr. Smee and tack it on wherever you see a good spot!”? Doesn’t sound like a ship!
