Simplified Wreck Survey
HMS Euston Shipwreck Details: The wreck of HMS Euston is located in the North Sea off the coast of County Durham, England, at coordinates 54 40.478 N, 001 09.125 W. Following a comprehensive multibeam survey conducted in 2018, the wreck site was confirmed at these precise coordinates in a general seabed depth of 10 meters. The underwater obstruction is currently documented with a least depth of 8.98 meters. Physical dimensions of the remains are recorded as 4.6 meters in length, 2.8 meters in width, and a height of 1.01 meters above the seabed. Historically identified as an upright structure in the 1930s, modern survey data indicates the wreck is now well-broken and settled into the seafloor. This site is significant for maritime history and local hydrographic records, providing a clear reference point for navigation and offshore activity in the North Sea.
