El 17 de junio de 1903, menos de una hora después de haber salido del puerto de Marsella con destino a Bastia, el transatlántico fue embestido por el Insular en la proa de estribor, regresando de Tolón con unos cuarenta pasajeros a bordo y preparándose para entrar en la rada cerca de la Ile Maïre.

Formed by three big boulders cut by two faults, this plateau presents an emerging ridge at 11 meters to die on a sandy bottom at 25 meters. A loop of the site can be realized by taking the two faults covered with red and yellow gorgonians.

The rock, of imposing size, is cut by large faults and decorated with holes and scree on its periphery. The eastern side of the rock has a drop off covered in gorgonians and sponges. In the vicinity, if you move away a little, you will find other small rocks covered with fish.

The site consists of a series of rocks running from north to south at a depth of 8 to 18 metres. At the end of this rocky bar surrounded by posidonia, towards the south, you will find a statue of a mermaid.

The starboard side is covered with gorgonian sea fans, the propeller is as big as a diver and is visible in the sand at 36 meters depth. On the port side, the debris of the wreck.

After a descent into the water along the mooring, the silhouette of the plane can be seen at 42 metres, like a broken steel carcass on a sandy background. The cockpit, on the other hand, rests on 46 metres of water and is 130 metres away... It is therefore the subject of another dive.
