Identification of Anse à la Barque's Shipwrecks (Guadeloupe FWI): Historical Research in the Service of Underwater Archaeology

Résumé

On 18 December 1809 under the pressure of an English fleet, two Napoleonic Period store-ships, corvettes de charge, were sunk in Anse à la Barque on the west coast of Guadeloupe (FWI), south of the town of Bouillante. Underwater archaeological excavations, took place between 2001 and 2008. these investigations revealed that, in addition to those two shipwrecks, hulls of four different ships were also present on the seafloor. Two of them have been identified as the French vessels Seine and Loire by comparing archival data to the archaeological record. The presence of so many shipwrecks in a secondary mooring of the west coast of Guadeloupe is explained by its topographical characteristics and its proximity to Basse-Terre.
