Simplified Wreck Survey
The shipwreck Diana is an underwater obstruction located in the North Sea off the coast of England at coordinates 53 45.009 N, 0 20.557 E. The site features a least measured multibeam depth of 24.1 meters within a general surrounding depth of 27 meters. Structural descriptions from surveys indicate the remaining wreckage measures 12.2 meters in length, 15.2 meters in width, and 2.6 meters in height, with an orientation of 319/139 degrees. Scour dimensions around the wreck measure 15 meters oriented toward 069 degrees. What remains of the shipwreck appears to be the boiler, and the site produces a strong magnetic anomaly. Historical survey updates note that previous least depths of 14.5 meters and 14 meters were recorded, along with a temporary east cardinal light buoy that has since been discontinued.
