Espignole
was a French torpedo boat of the Durandal class laid down
by Chantiers et Ateliers Augustin Normand in Le Havre, and
was launched in 1900 for the French Navy. She had a very
short career in the French navy. 4.F ebruary 1903 she hit
ground outside Cavaliere bay, and stood firmly stuck.
Despite several attempts to re-float and save her, she had
to be written off the navy lists. Salvaging the wreck on
site also proved to be a difficult task, and she was soon
abandoned. The wreck rest today on a depth of 30 to 38
meter right outside Cavaliere.
