On Châtelet beach, located between Wissant and Cap Gris Nez (Opal Coast), you can observe the wreck of the Lord Grey, a 37 m trawler requisitioned in 1915 by the British army and used as a minesweeper. On December 2, 1917, during a storm, the ship ran aground and has been on the beach since, emerging from the sea at low tide.
