Simplified Wreck Survey
Wreck details for the underwater obstruction identified as LINDISFARNE (PROBABLY) located in the North Sea at coordinates 52 34.469 N, 002 04.824 E. This maritime site has been subject to multiple hydrographic surveys since its initial loss in 1942. The wreck lies intact and in an upright position on the seabed. Latest survey data from 2017 confirms a least multibeam depth of 23.1 meters in a general depth of 29 meters. The structure measures approximately 68.9 meters in length, 15.4 meters in width, and 7.2 meters in height, with an orientation of 172/352 degrees. Evidence of seabed scour measuring 30.6 meters in length and 1.93 meters deep is present. Historical records note the site was originally torpedoed on December 19, 1942, and subsequent examinations have tracked its evolution on the seafloor including varying depth readings and structural measurements recorded by survey vessels such as HMS Bulldog, HMS Enterprise, and Gardline. These accurate underwater obstruction coordinates are vital for maritime navigation and safety.
