Simplified Wreck Survey

The Mary Ashburner is an underwater wreck located off the coast of Wales in the Irish Sea at coordinates 51 22.027 N, 6 6.058 W. Originally recorded as having sunk in 1962, subsequent hydrographic surveys conducted by HMS Herald in 1976 failed to locate the vessel at the charted position. Due to the inability to confirm the wreckage during area searches, the Mary Ashburner is currently classified as a dead or non-existent wreck entry. While historical records indicate the vessel sank in this sector of the Irish Sea, modern surveys have not provided structural descriptions such as welded steel or signs of wreckage, resulting in the obstruction being removed from active navigational hazard lists.
