This armoured vehicle was not an amphibious tank but a self-propelled gun, a 105 mm Howitzer Motor Carriage M7. These tanks were nicknamed “Priests” by the British because the circular shelter housing the machine gun was shaped like a church pulpit.

This M7 Priest may have been lost by the LCT 458, which sank in this part of the Banc du Cardonnet. Two other M7s and debris from halftracks (semi-tracked vehicles) are located about 100 metres to the south-west.
