Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater shipwreck located off the coast of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean Sea at coordinates 12 31.730 N, 61 23.324 W. This freighter wreck sits upright and intact on the seabed. The structure measures 33.5 meters in length, 8.5 meters in width, and 7.63 meters in height, with an orientation of 245/065 degrees. Recent hydrographic surveys confirm a least depth of 4.87 meters over the wreck, with a general surrounding depth of 12 meters. Originally reported as a freighter with a steel mast rising to within 2 meters of the surface, the site has been formally examined and updated in maritime charts to reflect the revised position and depth. Mariners are advised of the obstruction to navigation at this charted depth.
