Simplified Wreck Survey
The Holland III wreck is an underwater obstruction located off the coast of the Isles of Scilly, United Kingdom, at coordinates 50 12.334 N, 6 27.687 W. Historically recorded as a non-dangerous wreck, surveys have confirmed the site contains a significant underwater structure. Detailed sonar examinations reveal a vessel measuring 20 meters in length, 5 meters in width, and standing 3 meters high from the seabed. Situated at a depth of 88 meters in a general depth of 91 meters, the wreck exhibits a strong magnetic deflection, suggesting a steel construction. The wreckage lies on a 170/350-degree axis and appears to be partially buried in the seabed.
