Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck Ebenezer is located off the coast of Aberdeenshire, Scotland, near Peterhead in the North Sea at coordinates 57 41.084 N, 2 34.246 W. Historical survey records indicate the vessel broke in half, with the bow sinking near a rock and the stern drifting west before becoming completely broken up with wreckage scattered in gulleys around Salt Rock. Depths over the wreckage range from 20 to 30 feet, though subsequent hydrographic surveys by HMS Bulldog detected no remaining wreckage, leading to the site being officially amended to a dead wreck.
