Simplified Wreck Survey

The underwater wreck identified as DEHORTER was historically documented at coordinates 47 12.19 N, 2 24.08 W, situated in the Bay of Biscay off the French Atlantic coast. Surveying records from the UK Hydrographic Office (H8518/33) tracked the wreck's status during the 1930s, initially noting its position marked by a green conical buoy. Following updates in December 1933, the obstruction was re-surveyed, but by April 1935, the wreck was officially amended to dead status and removed from navigation charts. While the site is no longer considered an active underwater obstruction for maritime traffic, these historical coordinates remain significant for wreck research and marine surveys in the Bay of Biscay region.
