Underwater Wreck Survey Details: Located at coordinates 56 35.964 N, 2 9.409 W in UK waters, this large, highly degraded shipwreck measures 151 meters in length, 31 meters in width, and stands 12.8 meters high. The site features a least multibeam depth of 43.8 meters within a general surrounding depth of 56.6 meters, with a 2-meter deep scour extending 10 meters towards 180 degrees from the southeast end of the wreck. Lying on a heading of 145/325 degrees, the remains produce a strong magnetic anomaly and were thoroughly examined using DGPS in February 2008.
