Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater wreck and obstruction data for a submerged feature located off the coast of Taiwan in the Taiwan Strait at coordinates 23 23.229 N, 120 6.453 E. Historically recorded as a dangerous wreck, the site has undergone multiple hydrographic surveys and status updates since 1948. Initially identified as a dangerous wreck, the obstruction was subsequently monitored for removal and later reclassified as an underwater obstruction and foul ground area. Official nautical charting records including USHO, Tokyo, and Taiwan maritime authorities have tracked its status, ultimately designating the site as a permanent underwater obstruction. Mariners are advised to use caution in this sector of the Taiwan Strait as the structural integrity and exact status of the submerged object have been subject to various hydrographic amendments over several decades.
