The shipwreck DIAMANT is historically documented in the Celtic Sea, located approximately at coordinates 51 02 N, 06 00 W. This underwater obstruction, recorded by the UK Hydrographic Office, has undergone historical revisions regarding its precise location. Initial reports placed the sinking in the mid-channel area between Ireland and Cornwall, while later analytical data suggests a position 50 miles west of Lundy Island. The DIAMANT remains a significant point of interest for maritime researchers and wreck explorers. While specific structural descriptions such as welded steel or well broken are not confirmed in the available records, this site is registered for official filing. The coordinates 51 02 N, 06 00 W are maintained in navigational records to assist in the identification and mapping of this underwater hazard.
