Simplified Wreck Survey
The historic shipwreck known as the Gipsy (Possibly) is located off the coast of East Anglia near Great Yarmouth in the United Kingdom, positioned at coordinates 52 14.926 N, 1 55.492 E. Historical hydrographic surveys dating back to 1941 initially recorded the submerged obstruction with a least depth of 42 feet before subsequent sweeps and modern multibeam sonar examinations provided updated dimensions. The most recent official surveys describe the underwater wreck as measuring approximately 44.5 meters in length, 9 meters in width, and 4.6 meters in height, lying on an orientation of 032/212 degrees in a general water depth of 35 meters. Situated with a scour measuring 6.96 meters long and 1.49 meters deep, the seabed obstruction is noted as largely intact yet partially buried, retaining a least multibeam depth of 26.90 meters.
