Simplified Wreck Survey

HMS IVANHOE shipwreck details located at coordinates 55 59.496 N, 3 10.086 W near Leith off the Scottish coast. Historically reported as a maritime obstruction positioned 038 degrees from the Martello Tower off Leith. The site was previously described as having masts, a funnel, and a chart house visible above the water line, with a drying height of 14.75 feet. While initial hydrographic records documented the wreck, subsequent surveying entries dated January 1932 indicate the obstruction was removed from navigational charts and classified as a dead site. This historic shipwreck location remains a point of interest for maritime researchers and local hydrographic surveying records.
