The Davis tower
Flanking the walls of the base, the Davis Tower was built in 1942 for training the submarine's crews. The tower has been used by french navy crews until 1997. In 1999 it resurfaces thanks to a museographic space dedicated to the immersed inheritance of Lorient. Equipped with a decompression chamber simulating the living conditions of the crews, the museum gives to the visitor the chance to plunge back into the past and discover the wrecks of this region.
