Simplified Wreck Survey
The Nord Deutscher shipwreck is a sunken cargo vessel located in the English Channel off the coast of France, near the Seine Bay area. First reported in 1945, the underwater obstruction sits upright in a general seabed depth of 21 meters with a modern verified position at coordinates 49 35.888 N, 0 1.463 E. Over decades of hydrographic surveys by the UK Hydrographic Office, the least depth over the wreck has been recorded between 13.2 meters and 15.5 meters. Historical survey records indicate the structural remains are broken into multiple sections oriented along a 160/340 degree axis, including parts of a float lying to the south. The wreck remains a notable underwater navigational hazard with a positional accuracy of approximately 20 meters.
