Simplified Wreck Survey
The shipwreck NEUBAU is a charted underwater obstruction located in the North Sea off the German coast. The wreck is currently positioned at coordinates 53 56.149 N, 07 53.703 E. Historical hydrographic data from the UK Hydrographic Office and German maritime charts trace the evolution of the site since its initial discovery in 1954. Originally reported as a wreck with a depth of 16.4 meters, multiple surveys over the decades have refined its status and location. By 1961, the site was confirmed as swept clear at 20 meters. Further sonar contacts and survey updates throughout the 1970s, 80s, and 90s adjusted the clearance depth. The most recent hydrographic record from 2015 confirms the obstruction is swept to a depth of 20.3 meters. The NEUBAU wreck serves as a significant underwater navigation hazard in the region, with its precise location and clearance depth maintained on international nautical charts, including DE 421030, to ensure maritime safety.
