Simplified Wreck Survey
The Maria Teresa Alonso is a documented underwater shipwreck located off the coast of Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, Spain, with recorded coordinates of 28 7.607 N, 15 25.417 W. Historical hydrographic survey data from the UK Hydrographic Office tracks the site's status from its initial discovery in 1976, when it was reported as a wreck with a mast visible at low tide. Over subsequent years, the wreck was identified as a diving hazard located in the vicinity of a Quick Red (Q.R) light, initially marked by a green can buoy. Detailed site reports confirmed the presence of the submerged wreck at a depth of 5.7 meters. While the wreck was formally charted on Spanish nautical maps throughout the 1980s, official updates as of April 2002 indicate that the obstruction is no longer present or visible at the charted location, and the site has been amended to dead and deleted from navigation charts.
