Simplified Wreck Survey

The underwater wreck ANVERS is located at coordinates 57 42.984 N, 1 49.102 W off the coast of Rattray Head in the United Kingdom. Historical hydrographic surveys note that this obstruction was previously classified as a non-dangerous wreck and later updated as an uncovered seabed obstruction with a depth of 28 meters, though a multibeam sonar search in September 2010 by Gardline Hydro failed to locate the structure, leading to its classification as dead and non-standard on navigation charts.
