Simplified Wreck Survey

The wreck of the vessel GRACIA is located in the North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Scotland at coordinates 59 39 N, 7 24.1 W. Historical survey data indicates the vessel sank during World War II with an approximate sinking position recorded at 59 39 N, 07 24 W. The site sits at an extreme depth of approximately 900 meters. Due to the significant depth and the vague nature of the original reported sinking coordinates, the wreck remains unchartered for navigation purposes. While specific structural details of the steel hull are not confirmed due to the depth, deep-water wrecks in this region are often documented as heavily degraded or broken structures. This record serves as a historical marker for the loss of the GRACIA in the deep waters of the North Atlantic.
