Simplified Wreck Survey
The shipwreck FERRETTE is an underwater obstruction located off the coast of Syria near the island of Ruad, situated at the precise coordinates 34 51.575 N, 35 51.670 E. Originally sinking approximately 520 meters at a 043-degree bearing from the Ruad Island Light, the wreck site is identified on nautical charts as a 3-meter depth obstruction. The site is currently marked by a conical buoy positioned close to the northeast of the wreckage. Historically documented in French naval records and international nautical charts, the remains are designated as a dangerous underwater wreck. Mariners are advised that the position is verified for navigation, and the obstruction remains a significant feature for vessels transiting the coastal waters of the Eastern Mediterranean.
