One of Many Missing Submarines
For years to come, the discovery of the Grayback will be a fascinating one. However, it’s not the only sad wreckage story to have been discovered like the Grayback. The Minerve, a French submarine, was a mysterious discovery after it went missing two decades after the Grayback. It, too, was discovered 51 years ago and was in a “ghost” form when divers stumbled upon it. It took another incredible pioneering effort to rediscover this fallen vessel.

The Search for Minerve Began
July 2019 was set to accomplish a feat no one else wanted to do. The Seabed Constructor crew went beneath the Mediterranean with underwater-controlled drones (over 9000 feet). The team was searching for Minerve, the French submarine that went missing in January 1968 with its 52-crew member. As they checked the records on the drones, they noticed one had hit the jackpot after it stumbled upon a wreckage site. Interestingly enough, the letters “MIN” were printed on the part of the wreckage. At last, the missing sub was found, more than a century after it went mysteriously out of site and off-radar.
