Complete Shipwreck Archive of the Cotentin Coast (1120–2026)
The Cotentin Peninsula has one of the richest maritime histories in France. For centuries, sailors crossing the English Channel have navigated some of Europe's most challenging waters, including the Raz de Barfleur, the Raz Blanchard, Cap de la Hague, the Casquets, the Minquiers and the approaches to the Channel Islands.
Storms, strong tides, hidden reefs, wartime action, navigational errors and simple bad luck have all contributed to a remarkable record of shipwrecks along this coastline.
This archive contains every recorded shipwreck listed by Wikimanche for the Cotentin coast between 1120 and the present day. The list includes medieval vessels, merchant ships, fishing boats, naval vessels, passenger steamers, wartime casualties, D-Day losses and modern commercial shipping.
Many of these wrecks remain visible in local memory. Some can still be visited through museums, memorials, coastal walks or underwater dive sites. Others survive only as names in maritime records, reminders of the power of the sea around Normandy.
This timeline records hundreds of shipwrecks along the Cotentin coast. For a deeper look at the most famous wrecks, maritime legends and the history behind these losses, read our guide:

Why So Many Shipwrecks?
The Cotentin coastline sits at the meeting point of powerful tides, changing weather systems and some of the busiest shipping routes in Europe. Around Cap de la Hague and the Raz Blanchard, tidal streams can exceed 12 knots, creating conditions that have challenged sailors for centuries.
The result is an extraordinary maritime record stretching from the loss of the Blanche-Nef in 1120 to modern commercial vessels such as the Ievoli Sun and Ice Prince.
For visitors interested in Normandy's maritime history, the stories behind these wrecks offer a fascinating glimpse into the people, ships and events that shaped the Channel coast we see today.
This shipwreck timeline is based on historical records published by Wikimanche . Our thanks to their contributors for preserving the maritime history of the Cotentin coast and the wider English Channel.
