Simplified Wreck Survey
The shipwreck Isabella Fowlie is located off the North Sea coast of the United Kingdom at coordinates 55 42.5 N, 1 26.099 W. Historical records indicate this underwater obstruction was initially reported in 1941. Subsequent hydrographic surveys conducted between 1972 and 2015 have re-evaluated the site, with modern multibeam sonar datasets failing to locate the remains of the vessel. As of the most recent 2015 examination by BDC and CEFAS, the wreck is classified as non-found in the immediate area, suggesting the structure may have broken up or drifted significantly since its original sinking. The site is officially recorded as dead and no longer poses a navigational hazard.
