Simplified Wreck Survey

The wreck of the Danish fishing vessel Fortuna is located at coordinates 54 58.96 N, 10 28.73 E in the Baltic Sea near the coast of Denmark. Historically recorded under Danish wreck records 459028 and 459029, the vessel sank following a collision in 1972. While initial reports suggested the Fortuna might have been raised, historical surveying indicates that possible remains or wreckage may still exist on the seabed at this location. Due to conflicting historical data referring to the vessel as both Fortuna and Fortunen, the current structural condition of the wreck remains unverified and largely untouched. Mariners should treat the area at these coordinates as a potential underwater obstruction.
