Underwater wreck located off the coast of Norfolk, England, at coordinates 53 01.111 N, 01 28.253 E. This seabed obstruction, documented by the UK Hydrographic Office, consists of an intact shipwreck measuring 80.8 meters in length and 21.6 meters in width, partially buried in the seabed. The wreck lies at an orientation of 175/355 degrees and reaches a height of 4 meters above the seafloor. Recent multibeam surveys confirm a least depth of 22.29 meters within a general water depth of 28 meters. A scour pit associated with the wreck measures 28.9 meters in length and 0.8 meters in depth, trending toward 020 degrees. Historical survey data from 1991 previously identified the site as a 95-meter obstruction, but current navigational charts denote the site as a danger to navigation at a depth of 22 meters.
