Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater wreck investigation report for the obstruction formerly located near Invergordon, Scotland. The site coordinates are 57 41.557 N, 4 9.099 W. Historical survey records indicate this wreck was initially reported following a grounding incident near the Invergordon shipyard. However, subsequent hydrographic investigations conducted in 1975 by HMS Egeria confirmed that the wreckage no longer exists at this location. As a result, the obstruction has been officially removed from nautical charts and records. This wreck site is now classified as dead and is no longer considered a hazard to navigation.
