December 5, 1969, the EVLALIA (photo from my personal collection) ran aground near the dike of the small French port of Capbreton, Landes coast. The master of this Greek freighter believed he was arriving at Bayonne, 20 kilometers south!
The story of this accident is told in my book "Les gisants de la plage", available now, and published by Cairn editions. The book also tells the story of the 9 shipwrecks that occurred on the coast of the Landes and the Basque Country, between December 1968 and December 1980. A book with many photos. https://www.amazon.fr/gisants-plage-Philippe-Lauga/dp/2350689271/
