Simplified Wreck Survey

The wreck of the German steam trawler Cleverbruck is located at coordinates 53 53.1 N, 7 31.7 E in the North Sea, situated northwest of the island of Langeoog, Germany. Historical surveying records for this site include survey H2171/20, which identified the vessel as a sunken steam trawler. While initial nautical charts, including BA 3761 and German chart 87, previously marked the position as a non-dangerous wreck, subsequent hydrographic survey H7075/30 in 1930 officially amended the status of the Cleverbruck to dead, leading to its removal from active navigation charts. The site is a documented underwater obstruction historically associated with North Sea shipping routes near the German coast.
