Underwater wreck COLIN ARCHER located at coordinates 54 35.979 N, 8 23.243 E in the German Bight area of the North Sea. Historical hydrographic survey records document the obstruction starting from 1978 when it was originally marked by a green buoy with a triangular topmark. Over subsequent decades, surveying updates tracked changes to its depth clearance, transitioning from a swept depth of 0.5 meters and 1.0 meters, eventually being updated on official charts in 2016 as a swept wreck with a depth of 3.6 meters at its revised precise position.
