Simplified Wreck Survey
Underwater wreck report for the ADA MARY located at coordinates 50 40.769 N, 0 48.839 W near The Mixon off the Selsey coast. Historical surveys indicate the ADA MARY was identified as a shipwreck with a least depth of 18 feet and a mast that dries at high water. Despite extensive search efforts using sonar, magnetometer, and multibeam surveys in 1970, 2003, and 2019, the ADA MARY wreck site could not be located. Current hydrographic data from the UK Hydrographic Office classifies the status of the ADA MARY as dead or no further action due to the inability to relocate the obstruction at the recorded position.
