Simplified Wreck Survey

The wreck of the Hallamshire is located at coordinates 35 50.763 N, 22 45.46 E in the Mediterranean Sea near the coast of Greece and Cerigotto Island. This historical underwater obstruction dates back to a sinking event reported on August 8, 1972. Originally identified as being 20 meters southwest of Cerigotto Island, also known as Nisos Kithira, the site remains a point of interest for maritime researchers. Due to the significant depth and the historical nature of the vessel, the wreckage is documented as a deep-water underwater obstruction. Historical records from the UK Hydrographic Office note the vessel as the Hallamshire, a site categorized as not currently charted due to the depth and the approximate nature of the initial sighting position.
