Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck Anatoli is a former maritime obstruction located in the Red Sea, off the coast of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Historical records from the UK Hydrographic Office indicate the wreck was situated at coordinates 21 27.605 N, 39 7.07 E. Originally reported in 1976 with the forecastle showing above the water line, the site underwent various surveys and was marked by several navigational buoys over the following decades. While previously charted as a dangerous wreck and later a non-dangerous obstruction for anchorage, the site was officially classified as dead by October 2016. The Anatoli wreck is no longer depicted on current Saudi Arabian or British Admiralty nautical charts, indicating the remains have been removed or are no longer considered a hazard to navigation in this Red Sea anchorage zone.
