Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck Canada is a historical underwater wreck located off the coast of Goa in the Arabian Sea at coordinates 15 28.103 N, 73 46.56 E. Initially reported in December 1987 as lying partly sunk with its bow visible and dangerous to navigation, the position of the wreck was later updated. Official hydrographic surveys and navigation warnings eventually confirmed the removal of the wreck, leading to its deletion from navigational charts following Notice to Mariners actions in 1988.
