Meet the Camarat 4, the deepest shipwreck ever discovered in French waters. This remarkably preserved 16th-century merchant vessel sat undisturbed off the coast of St. Tropez for 500 years before the French Navy stumbled onto it by accident during a routine sonar mission. On this episode of “Hot Take with Jesse Weber,” we take a deeper dive into one of the most extraordinary underwater discoveries in years and bring in Dr. Tracy Fanara to help unravel the mysteries still surrounding it.
