Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck Kyholm is located at coordinates 55 42.933 N, 12 38.3 E in the waters near Copenhagen, Denmark, historically marked near Trekroner Fort. Originally sinking in approximately 13 meters of depth following a collision in 1964, the vessel was subject to salvage operations by Svitzer Co. and subsequent buoy marking. Official records from Danish wreck databases and the UK Hydrographic Office note that the wreck and its navigational buoys were largely removed and raised, with the status later amended to dead and no longer shown on modern nautical charts.
