Unverified underwater wreck at coordinates 50 20.76 N, 0 0.4 E reported in April 2013 after sinking in a provisional position. Subsequent multibeam sonar surveys in October 2013 failed to locate the obstruction, leading hydrographic authorities to amend the record to dead, unmapped, and non-charted.
