Simplified Wreck Survey

The wreck of the LCA 845 is located at coordinates 56 5.446 N, 2 53.288 W off the coast of Montrose, Scotland, in the North Sea. This underwater obstruction, historically recorded as a Landing Craft Assault vessel, was initially reported in 1944. Subsequent hydrographic surveys, including an anti-submarine search by HMS Scott in 1959, failed to locate the original wreckage, leading to its classification as a foul area. The site is currently documented as not located, suggesting the structure is either well broken up or no longer presents a significant underwater hazard.
