Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater wreck details located at coordinates 23 22.808 N, 120 6.127 E off the western coast of Taiwan. This submerged obstruction has a complex history documented by the UK Hydrographic Office. Initially identified as a dangerous wreck marked by green channel buoys, the site underwent multiple navigational updates between 1948 and 1952, including reports of partial removal. Following subsequent chart amendments in 1961 and 1981, the site is currently classified as an underwater obstruction. Navigational charts identify this location near the Taiwan coast as a hazard to maritime traffic. Historical records track the evolution of this obstruction from a marked wreck to its present status as a charted underwater feature. Mariners should exercise caution when navigating near these coordinates in the waters of Taiwan.
