Wrecks and obstructions listed by Shom
The Shom database contains wrecks, obstructions and isolated rocks spread around the coasts of mainland France and French overseas territories. All known information on the wreck or obstruction is entered, in addition to its geographic position: condition, name, nationality, date and circumstances of the shipwreck, etc. The wreck and obstructions database is mainly intended to improve nautical safety, however wrecks can be of interest for many reasons: a wealth of submarine wildlife, studying marine habitats, archaeology, history of shipwrecks, danger and catching for dredging or trawling, etc.

- Statement
-
The density of information available for a wreck varies depending on the source of the information. If a wreck is detected during a hydrographic survey, its position and depth will be clear (the survey data shown on the nautical chart at the wreck). Divers may carry out an investigation to complete the description, depending on depth. Diving groups and some clubs provide precious information on wrecks, with both locations and descriptions. Shom can sometimes only provide an approximate position of the accident at sea for some shipwrecks. In this case, these objects are indicated on the nautical chart with the text "PA": approximate position or "PD" for uncertain position, depending on the estimated precision and scale of the nautical chart.
