Simplified Wreck Survey
The shipwreck of the Annie Robert is located at coordinates 43 39.025 N, 1 35.366 W off the coast near Cape Breton, France in the Bay of Biscay. Originally reported sunk in November 1974 approximately 6 miles west of Cape Breton, historical hydrographic surveys document its evolution from an initial dangerous wreck position to a foul ground obstruction. Survey records from the UK Hydrographic Office and French hydrographic authorities trace the site over decades, noting a clearance depth of more than 20 meters in 1988, a charted wreck with an upright or clearance status at 65 meters depth by 2003, and eventual classification as a foul obstruction on modern nautical charts by 2008.
