Geocache Description:

A slightly further walk along the coast to this cache that forms part of the Shipwreck Series. For the series methodology and more info visit SS: Shipwreck Series via the related web page link.

The L'Aloutte was a French naval ship commanded by Lieutenant Claude Rigodit on a voyage from Rochefort-sur-Mer to Reunion. Her grounding was exemplified by discipline of the highest order. She had sailed on 3 April 1817 with 15 passengers, seventy naval seamen and a cargo of Government supplies.

She hit Albatross Rock on the 6th June 1817 at 06h00 in heavy fog and a rough sea caused by the winter northwesters. Fortunately there was no panic and all the passengers and crew apart from a small boy made it safely to shore. This happened when the wife of one of the naval officers lost control of him after a large wave hit her lifeboat as she was preparing to climb in.

Looking to the south, you will see the remnants of the road that was built to recover the cargo from the Thomas T Tucker.
