Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck known as MOODY BLUE is an underwater obstruction located in the East Solent off the southern coast of England. The wreck is situated at coordinates 50 42.035 N, 0 57.088 W within the Nab Channel area. Historical hydrographic survey data indicates the vessel originally sank in the Solent, though subsequent search efforts, including high-resolution multibeam dataset surveys conducted in 2018 by Clinton Marine Survey, have failed to locate the structure. Due to these findings, the status of the MOODY BLUE wreck is officially classified as dead or non-existent in modern maritime records. Despite initial reports of the sinking in 1983, no tangible evidence or structural remains have been identified during professional underwater surveys in the vicinity of the Nab Channel coordinates.
