Search For The Wreck
Bonhomme Richard's final resting location is the subject of much speculation. A number of efforts have been conducted to locate the wreck but have been unsuccessful. The location of the wreck is presumed to be in approximately 180 feet of water off Flamborough Head in Yorkshire, a headland near where her final battle took place. The number of other wrecks in the area and a century of fishing trawling operations have complicated all searches.
