The Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours chapel in Dieppe was built in 1876 for sailors who died at sea. It was first a place of pilgrimage before being a parish church, and stands on the coast of the English Channel. Many votive offerings on display here honor the memory of sailors lost at sea. It was built by a mutual aid society before being attached to the parish of Neuville-lès-Dieppe in 1914. The church is part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Rouen.
