On 3 February, as the British attacked Martinique, the Amphitrite was scuttled to prevent her capture. In 1960, construction work of a modern commerce harbour in Fort de France uncovered the bottom of the hull of Amphitrite. Copper sheets of the hull and other fragments were recovered and are now on display at the Service Régional de l'Archéologie.
