Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck ADA is officially listed as an underwater obstruction located at 50 27.536 N, 1 57.582 W. Situated off the coast of Dorset near Anvil Point, this wreck site was previously investigated by hydrographic surveys. Although historical records from 1971 initially placed the vessel in the vicinity, subsequent professional sonar surveys conducted by Gardline confirmed that the wreck could not be located at the charted position and the site is officially classified as disproved and amended dead. These coordinates are maintained for filing purposes only and do not indicate a verified underwater structure at this location.
