General Comments

--H11731/2007-- Items 50095 and 50096 were reported as the cargo vessel Dorothy Wintermore that sunk September 1938. The wreck does not exist in the charted location as stated in AWOIS 50095. This was verified by 100% multibeam coverage. A conspicuous feature was examined in processed data and is potentially the wreck. There are no other features to suggest a second wreck exists.
