Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater obstruction located at 58 41.941 N, 5 10.478 W off the west coast of Scotland near the Minch. Historical survey records indicate this site was originally reported as a fishing obstruction in 1976 and later investigated as a potential boulder contact in 1983. Subsequent professional hydrographic surveys conducted in 2005 successfully searched the area and definitively disproved the existence of an obstruction at these coordinates, leading the UK Hydrographic Office to classify the record as dead. There is currently no wreckage or structural debris such as welded steel or broken hull plating identified at this maritime location.
