Simplified Wreck Survey
The shipwreck Camlake is documented as an underwater obstruction located at coordinates 33 18.371 N, 8 25.059 W, situated off the Atlantic coast of Morocco near the ports of Al Jadida and Jorf Lasfar. This maritime hazard, historically classified as a dangerous wreck, has appeared in various hydrographic records including UK Hydrographic Office surveys and French nautical charts. Early records classified the wreck as existence doubtful after historical surveys failed to pinpoint the exact structure. More recent data and revised positioning indicate the wreck remains a navigational obstruction for vessels operating in the region. Navigational charts continue to identify the site as a dangerous wreck with existence doubtful status, requiring mariners to exercise caution when navigating these waters near the Moroccan coastline.
