Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater obstruction report for position 6 25.824 N, 3 23.807 E located off the coast of Nigeria. Historical hydrographic data from the UK Hydrographic Office identifies a record of wreckage and structural obstructions in this vicinity. Survey records dating back to 1923 and 1926 initially noted wreck areas in the region. Subsequent surveys conducted by the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) between 1961 and 1984 identified multiple structural obstructions, including steel remains, scattered in the coastal waters near these coordinates. These obstructions are currently recorded as structural debris located at 6 25.824 N, 3 23.807 E. While later Nigerian nautical charts may not explicitly detail the site, the area remains documented in maritime survey records as an underwater obstruction zone containing remnants of submerged steel structures.
