Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater wreck located at 54 37.867 N, 1 3.732 W off the coast of North East England near the River Tees. Historical survey records indicate this obstruction was originally identified by divers in 1929 as a wreck covering an area of approximately 70 by 25 feet with portions lying level with the seabed at a least depth of 31.5 feet. Subsequent hydrographic surveys conducted in 1989 and 2018 using modern multibeam sonar technology failed to locate any wreckage at this position. Currently classified as non-existent or no wreckage found, this site remains a point of interest for maritime history archives regarding underwater obstructions in the North Sea.
