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
- 43°03.70′N 05°31.90′E / 43.06167°N 5.53167°E or
- 43°02′13″N 5°19′08″E / 43.0370°N 05.3190°E (= 43°02′13″N 5°19′08″E / 43.0370°N 05.3190°E)
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)
