Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue is located in the Manche département, Basse-Normandie, France - The marker on this map shows the plane's position.

In 1944, the port of Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue was the first port of La Manche to be freed by the allies.

In the first days of June, 1692, the naval Battle of La Hougue took place there: the French fleet commanded by Admiral de Tourville was attacked by an Anglo-Dutch armada; most ships could flee to Saint-Malo, but following an erroneous nautical manoeuvre, 13 French ships were carried away by the tidal stream near La Hougue, where they were burned.
