Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater wreck survey details near the coast of East Anglia in the North Sea at coordinates 52 23.028 N, 1 46.89 E. Historical records from the UK Hydrographic Office note that local fishermen initially reported wreckage in the vicinity, leading to its classification as a foul position. Subsequent sonar searches by HMS Bulldog and multibeam bathymetry surveys by Gardline in 2016-2017 found nothing at the reported location, resulting in the wreck status being amended to dead with no further archaeological remains located.
