Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater wreck and obstruction details located at coordinates 52 13.679 N, 2 1.015 E in the North Sea. Historical hydrographic surveys note the site was originally reported in 1961 and located in 1968. Modern examinations in 1994 described the area as a disturbed seabed with possible debris charted as foul ground at a general depth of 33 meters. Subsequent archaeological and hydrographic surveys conducted in 2006 and 2016 found nothing on the echosounder and recorded no magnetic anomaly, leading authorities to classify the site as dead and not located by multibeam surveys.
