Simplified Wreck Survey
Comprehensive hydrographic survey and wreck history details for the underwater obstruction known as G AND E (POSSIBLY), located off the coast of England in the North Sea at coordinates 52 30.281 N, 1 45.722 E. Historical survey records from the UK Hydrographic Office document the site from 2016 through 2018. Initial reports noted a wreck marked by a buoy before it was dispersed and the buoy withdrawn in 2018. Subsequent archaeological and hydrographic investigations using DGPS and multibeam sonar established the wreck's dimensions as approximately 22.6 meters in length, 9 meters in width, with a least depth of 9.18 meters in a general surrounding water depth of 10.13 meters. The wreckage features an orientation of 122/302 degrees alongside an associated seabed scour measuring 17.4 meters long and 0.38 meters deep oriented towards 168 degrees.
