About this site
Arab, also known as ex-Jean Bart, is a historic wreck in the Glénan archipelago, lost in 1796. The vessel was a corvette measuring 35 yards in length. Very little of the original structure survives; what remains consists of a few guns, the anchor, and scattered pieces of copper and lead.
The wreck's sparse remains offer a glimpse into an eighteenth-century naval loss, though divers should expect minimal structure rather than an intact hull.
