A piece of wreckage, thought to be from HMS Campbeltown, discovered on the seabed in 2020 at Saint-Nazaire

Summary[edit]

Description
English: This piece of steel was discovered in 2020 during dredging operations at the entrance to the Normandie Dock (aka Joubert dock) by the French offshore wind farm consortium led by EDF Renouvelables. They were preparing the dock for wind farm construction operations and found the artefact in 20 cms of silt around 30 metres from the former dock gate rammed by HMS Campbeltown during Operation Chariot on March 28, 1942. It is not yet confirmed, but it is presumed to be a piece of her, probably flung clear when the 4.5 tons of explosives hidden in her, detonated later that day. This image taken in the wind farm offices. The artefact is currently on loan to the Commando Association.
