Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck AITZANDI is located at coordinates 36 9.92 N, 7 30.09 W in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Spain near the Gulf of Cadiz. Historically reported as a sunk vessel after being sighted abandoned, the wreck site was noted in survey data as being located at an approximate depth of 750 meters. Due to the significant depth and the vague nature of the initial reports, the AITZANDI is currently not charted on navigation maps. French maritime chart 7550 confirms the obstruction is not shown, and the status of the vessel is officially amended as dead. No structural details such as hull composition are currently verified for this deep-water site.
