Simplified Wreck Survey

The wreck of the Cargo Fleet Number Two is located off the coast of the River Tees in North East England at coordinates 54 38.825 N, 1 8.648 W. Historical records from the UK Hydrographic Office previously tracked this obstruction under references H6784/47 and NM 3234/47, though the site was officially cleared from charts following a 1948 notification. Modern hydrographic surveys conducted by Clinton Marine Survey in 2018 confirmed that the obstruction was not located within the multibeam sonar dataset, resulting in a status of No Further Action. While historical maritime records identified the vessel at this coastal location, recent seabed mapping indicates the site is clear, suggesting the structure may have been salvaged or disintegrated over time.
