Simplified Wreck Survey
The underwater wreck known as ALMA is located at coordinates 54 15.593 N, 8 29.703 E. Historical hydrographic surveys dating from 1966 to 2016 document the obstruction and its depth adjustments over time. The least depth over the wreck was measured at a depth of 6.1 meters, with previous surveys recording depths of 2.7 meters, 4.2 meters, and 4.9 meters. Position updates over the decades refined the exact location of the wreck, and a West cardinal buoy was historically laid 100 meters west of the obstruction.
