Simplified Wreck Survey

The UK Hydrographic Office wreck record for the Charles Goodanew is located at coordinates 57 40.485 N, 1 46.602 W, approximately 3.5 miles east-northeast of Rattray Head in the North Sea off the coast of Scotland. Initially recorded in 1917 and historically classified with various symbols including a dangerous wreck position approximate, modern multibeam surveys conducted in September 2010 by Gardline Hydro failed to locate the obstruction, leading to the wreck status being amended to dead or removed from active charting, though historical cargo records note it originally carried three 18-inch Mark VII torpedoes.
