21 Jan 1995 - She left Lorient bound to the fishing areas, when an other French trawler, JEAN GERMAINE, sent a distress call, being disabled near Les Glenans Islands. JULIEN QUERE replied but during towage operations, a fire is detected in the crew accomodations. The fire is not under control and the crew must be air-lifted. The JULIEN QUERE drifted all the night, then capsized and sank on her port side off Le Pouldu.
