The real Le Suroit made its maiden voyage in April 1975, built in Dieppe by Ateliers et Chantiers de la Manche. It was the second vessel in the NOROIS series of oceanographic research ships, following Le Noroit. During the summer of 1985, Le Suroît actively contributed to the exploration of the Titanic wreck, utilizing its highly sensitive SAR (Remote Acoustic Sonar), which was instrumental in locating the site of one of the most iconic shipwrecks in history.
