About this site
Ville De Grasse is a steamboat wreck lying about 600 metres south-southwest of the Grand Ribaud lighthouse. The vessel once shuttled between Marseille, Cannes and Nice, and it sank in 1851 after a collision during a night crossing, with 15 victims recorded.
The wreck lies at 44 to 50 metres and is rated difficult. Sand covers the hull, so little plant or animal life is present, and the main interest is its age. Currents can be strong here, and boat traffic is heavy in summer.
