Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck of the Grecian Prince is located off the coast of Kinnairds Head in Scotland, near the North Sea, with coordinates 57 57.982 N, 2 7.1 W. Historical survey records indicate the vessel sank approximately 16.5 meters from Kinnairds Head. While early hydrographic surveys designated the site as a dangerous wreck, subsequent multibeam sonar searches conducted by Gardline Hydro in September 2010 failed to locate the structure, leading authorities to update its status to dead and not located.
