Simplified Wreck Survey

Located in the North Sea off the east coast of Scotland at coordinates 57 3.534 N, 1 15.979 W, this unidentified underwater wreck rests in a general water depth of approximately 57 to 60 meters. Detailed DGPS and multibeam hydrographic surveys reveal an intact and upright vessel structure measuring 32 meters in length, 9 meters in width, and standing 7.3 meters off the seabed, with a least depth of 52.6 meters over the wreck. The degraded hull lies on an orientation of 125 to 305 degrees with its bow facing southeast and exhibits a moderate magnetic anomaly. Seafloor currents have formed distinct scour depressions around the structure, extending 38 meters to the southwest at a depth of 2.1 meters, and 16 meters to the northeast at a depth of 1.3 meters.
