#bouvet

Bouvet was a pre-dreadnought battleship of the French Navy that was built in the 1890s. She was a member of a group of five broadly similar battleships, along with Charles Martel, Jauréguiberry, Carnot, and Masséna, which were ordered in response to the British Royal Sovereign class.

Need some alone time? Most of us will have described somewhere as ‘the middle of nowhere’ at some point in our lives; but it probably wasn’t here. This is the real middle of nowhere. Located 2,260 kilometres from the nearest Island of Tristan da Cunha, this island, Bouvet, is truly remote as well as uninhabited. It is a shield volcano located in the South Atlantic Ocean between Africa, South America, and Antarctica, and is only 49-square-kilometres in area. -Jean Image courtesy of Landsat 8

Bouvet was a pre-dreadnought battleship of the French Navy that was built in the 1890s. She was a member of a group of five broadly similar battleships, along with Charles Martel, Jauréguiberry, Carnot, and Masséna. The ship in World War One joined the naval operations off the Dardanelles, where she participated in a series of attacks on the Ottoman fortifications guarding the straits. These culminated in a major assault on 18 March 1915; during the attack, she was hit approximately eight times by shellfire but was not seriously damaged. While turning to withdraw, she struck a mine and sank within two minutes; only 75 men were rescued from a complement of 710.
