The disappearance of Minerve

This website is dedicated to the story of the disappearance of the submarine Minerve with its 52-man crew.

She disappeared on 27 January 1968 and, despite a major search, could not be found.

After 51 years of struggle, the families obtained a resumption of the search, which enabled them to locate the wreck on 21 July 2019 and finally understand what had happened.
