Simplified Wreck Survey
The shipwreck GLEN LYON is located at coordinates 9 27.417 S, 46 27.167 E off the coast of the Amirante Islands in the Indian Ocean. This underwater obstruction, historically identified as the wreck of the GLEN LYON, was previously charted at a slightly different position near Tacamakas. While the wreck was once described as conspicuous, subsequent surveys conducted by the Royal Navy indicate that the site is no longer easily visible. Current hydrographic data confirms the precise location of the wreckage at 9 27.417 S, 46 27.167 E. Mariners should exercise caution when navigating near these coordinates in the Amirante Islands region as the submerged remains may pose a hazard to shallow-draft vessels.
