Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck Jezebel is located at coordinates 53 18.799 N, 4 3.923 W off the coast of Wales near Trwyn Du Lighthouse. Historical survey records from the UK Hydrographic Office note that while the wreck was initially charted following reports in 1959 and 1963, subsequent searches by HMS Beagle in 1985, aerial photography in 1991, and surveys by the research vessel Prince Madog in 1995 failed to find or sight the wreck, leading authorities to classify its current status as amended dead or not found.
