Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater obstruction located at coordinates 52 8.179 N, 1 37.642 E off the East Coast of England in the North Sea. Originally reported in 1965 as a possible wreck or rock pinnacle using Decca navigation, featuring a least echo sounder depth of 38 feet within a general depth of 45 feet and localized scouring down to 48 feet. Later classified as a seabed ridge in 1985, subsequent multibeam hydrographic surveys in 2016 did not locate the feature, indicating it is now non-dangerous or has disappeared.
