Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck Lady Primrose is located underwater at coordinates 57 42.284 N, 1 50.102 W, approximately 6 miles east-southeast of Kinnaird Head off the northeast coast of Scotland in the North Sea. Originally reported sunk and historically charted as a dangerous wreck or obstruction, subsequent hydrographic surveys by vessels including HMS Bulldog and Gardline Hydro failed to locate the structure during multibeam sonar sweeps, leading the UK Hydrographic Office to classify the site as a non-dangerous wreck and dead mark.
