Simplified Wreck Survey

The wreck of the vessel DEVERON is officially classified as non-existent or disproved at the reported position of 59 0.972 N, 4 48.082 W, located in the North Atlantic Ocean approximately 25 miles north-northeast of North Rona, Scotland. Although historical records categorized the site as a World War I loss, multiple professional hydrographic surveys, including a 1984 search by Racal Survey and a 2005 investigation by Gardline, failed to locate any structural remains, debris, or underwater obstructions at these coordinates. Consequently, the wreck status is amended to dead and removed from active navigational charts for this specific location.
