Simplified Wreck Survey
The Brigitta is an underwater shipwreck located off the south coast of England in the English Channel near the Nab Tower area at coordinates 50 38.785 N, 0 46.922 W. Originally reported sunk in January 1918 after being reported 6 miles southwest of the Nab Light Vessel, the wreck has a long history of hydrographic surveys by the UK Hydrographic Office. Over the decades, surveys by vessels such as HMS Kellet and Trinity House authorities tracked the site, noting that subsequent searches in 1928, 1956, 1975, and 2003 failed to locate any remaining obstruction, leading authorities to update its status to dead and deleted from active charting.
