Simplified Wreck Survey
The Norman shipwreck is an underwater obstruction located in the North Sea off the coast of Suffolk, England, at coordinates 51 4.395 N, 001 14.751 E. This historic site, originally identified as a sunken barge, was surveyed in 2010 and confirmed to be an intact, upright vessel measuring 28 meters in length, 8 meters in width, and 3.5 meters in height. The wreck rests in a general depth of approximately 20.7 meters, with the least multibeam echo sounder depth recorded at 17.41 meters. Oriented on an axis of 085/265 degrees, the Norman remains in one piece with no scattered debris, situated within an area characterized by 3-meter sand waves. The wreck has been formally cataloged by the UK Hydrographic Office to ensure maritime safety and navigational awareness for vessels operating in these coastal waters.
