Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck LIANA is located at coordinates 58 8.781 N, 2 12.101 W, situated in the North Sea off the coast of Scotland. Historical UK Hydrographic Office surveying records originally identified a sonar contact at this position, formerly designated as a 35-meter underwater obstruction. However, a comprehensive hydrographic survey conducted on November 26, 2012, failed to locate any remains of the wreck at this site. Following this assessment, the position has been officially disproved and the wreck entry for LIANA has been amended to dead status, confirming that no identifiable structural remains currently exist at these coordinates.
