Simplified Wreck Survey
The shipwreck Johanne is a documented underwater obstruction historically located in the Oresund strait between Denmark and Sweden. The wreck coordinates are recorded as 55 5.5 N, 12 52.833 E. Over several decades of hydrographic surveying, the status of the Johanne wreck has fluctuated across various nautical charts. Initial reports classified the site as a dangerous wreck with a position approximate (PA). Subsequent nautical surveys and Danish wreck records tracked the obstruction intermittently, with some Swedish and Danish charts displaying the wreck while others omitted it. Following comprehensive reviews by hydrographic authorities, the status of the Johanne was ultimately amended to dead and the wreck was removed from updated navigational charts. This historical underwater obstruction data is maintained for maritime safety and archaeological reference within the Oresund region.
