The monument commemorates a shipwreck on this coast.
On February 10, 1910, the ship “General Chanzy” ran aground on the north coast of Menorca at around 5 a.m. Of the 157 people on board, only one passenger survived.
The causes of the shipwreck have not been clarified with absolute certainty. Bad weather conditions must have been one of the main factors.
The captain, Bruno Cayol, was an experienced sailor and knew the waters.
