Extract: “ This is a historic hole that has been filled in.

This operation in a lake environment, which took place between April 2019 and September 2020, will allow us to better detail the evolution of naval constructions between the Roman era and the 19th century. thanks to the discovery and study of these three wrecks off La Tène, dating from the 2nd, 16th and 18th centuries. Thanks to the partnership with the Octopus Foundation, whose vocation is to support scientific exploration and to disseminate this knowledge, the OPAN was able to carry out its program of safeguarding and scientific documentation of these objects. ”
