Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater Wreck Details: Located at coordinates 53° 9.501' N, 2° 46.844' E in the North Sea, this submerged shipwreck lies in a general water depth of 30 meters. The intact yet collapsed structural wreck measures 20.2 meters in length, 4.9 meters in width, and stands 2.5 meters high off the seabed, oriented on a 030/210 degree heading with possible remains of masts. Advanced multibeam surveys confirm a least depth over the obstruction at 27.5 meters with no surrounding scour, and magnetic survey data indicates low ferrous metal content.
