Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater Wreck Survey Details: Located at coordinates 52 58.82 N, 2 37.22 E in the North Sea off the east coast of England, this site features a small ship wreck initially reported in October 1986 and last examined in June 2014. The structural description notes the remains are oriented along a 060/240 degree axis on a seabed of sand and shell with sandwaves, lying in a general depth of 37 meters with a least echo sounder depth of 36 meters. Historical surveys describe the obstruction as a small vessel measuring approximately 15 to 20 meters long and 4 meters wide, possessing a magnetic content of about 49.5 tonnes, though a 2014 survey reported the wreck was not located by multibeam sonar or magnetometer.
