Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater shipwreck located at 58 27.605 N, 2 36.772 W, off the coast of Scotland in the North Sea. This underwater obstruction, identified as a collapsed wreck site, features a least multibeam depth of 43.67 meters within a general water depth of 49 meters. The wreckage lies on a 020/200 degree axis and is dispersed in several pieces, suggesting a vessel that may have broken apart. The site measures approximately 34.4 meters in length and 17.9 meters in width, with a height of 5 meters. Observations indicate the presence of a strong magnetic anomaly and a collapsed structure containing a probable engine and boiler, characteristic of a disintegrated trawler. A rock-like feature is situated close to the northwest, contributing to the total surveyed dimensions. The wreck is charted as a 43-meter obstruction.
