This cross was erected at the point on the coast closest to the shipwreck where six men and the captain survived.
It is a little known story, and yet: on July 7, 1932, the French submarine Prométhée made its fifth and unfortunately last sea voyage. It was off the coast of Fermanville that it sank with 62 sailors and engineers. Six men and the commander survived, saved by a fisherman from Cherbourg. At the time, the whole of France was marked by this tragedy, and a cross was erected at the place on the coast closest to the wreck. Today, the Prometheus still lies at the bottom of the sea, at the western end of the Levi pit.
