Simplified Wreck Survey

The ILES CHAUSEY wreck is located in the English Channel at coordinates 49 26.6 N, 0 2.8 E. Historical hydrographic survey records indicate that while an underwater obstruction was previously identified at these coordinates, a search conducted in May 2021 failed to locate any remains. Consequently, the wreck site and associated buoy have been removed from nautical charts and the status of the ILES CHAUSEY is now classified as dead, meaning the obstruction no longer poses a hazard to navigation at this position in the English Channel.
