Location?[edit]

The given coordinates, {{coord|43|03|70|N|05|31|90|E ...}} have a seconds figure greater than 60. The linked source just says

- L’épave est sur un fond de 125 mètres , sur le plateau des Blauquières, près de la fosse de Cassidaigue, à 20 milles de Marseille. Le sous-marin repose à plat, légèrement incliné.

I guess the correct coords are either

Both are about 29 km from Marseille, though in different directions — on opposite sides of an underwater canyon coming out of Cassis.

I edited the out-of-range coordinates in the article, using a 2008-02-03 reference that gave GPS coordinates. BrainMarble (talk) 03:23, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
