Simplified Wreck Survey
The shipwreck Diana is a submerged underwater obstruction located in the North Sea off the coast, with official coordinates 53 48.978 N, 6 33.144 E. Historical hydrographic survey records from the UK Hydrographic Office document the evolution of the Diana wreck site from its initial reporting on German charts in 1944 through multiple depth adjustments and buoy markings. Over decades of monitoring, the wreck depth was updated through various surveys, eventually settling at a least depth sounding of 18.1 meters. Historical notices trace the site from early markers such as spar light buoys to its modern charted position, reflecting ongoing maritime surveying and positioning updates.
