Simplified Wreck Survey

The wreck of the Little Flower is located at coordinates 56 36.888 N, 6 21.893 W in the waters off the west coast of Scotland near Oban. Originally reported as a sunk vessel in the late 1970s, the site was surveyed using multibeam sonar in November 2011. During this investigation, the underwater obstruction could not be located at the charted position, leading hydrographic authorities to update the status of the Little Flower to dead. While historical records previously listed the wreck as an underwater obstruction, modern survey data indicates that no significant wreckage remains at these coordinates.
