Simplified Wreck Survey
Wreck Information for NOMINOE located at coordinates 52 26.41 N, 1 47.746 E off the East Coast of England near Great Yarmouth. Originally sunk in March 1916, this historical shipwreck has been extensively surveyed by the UK Hydrographic Office and Royal Navy vessels including HMS Scott, HMS Echo, HMS Enterprise, HMS Egeria, and commercial surveyors like Gardline. Modern multibeam sonar surveys record the wreck dimensions at approximately 112.5 meters in length, 20.7 meters in width, and a height of 4.3 meters, oriented on a 024/204 degree axis. The least depth over the wreck is measured at 15.89 meters within a general surrounding depth of 19 meters, sitting amidst dynamic sandwaves with associated scour depressions up to 6.4 meters deep.
