Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater wreck survey report for a small launch vessel located off the coast of Scotland near the Firth of Clyde. The wreck is situated at coordinates 56 2.6 N, 4 49.677 W. Initially identified by AUV in May 2012, this small craft measures 3.6 meters in length, 1.4 meters in width, and 0.26 meters in height. The vessel lies in an upright and intact position on a mud seabed at a general depth of 39 meters. Subsequent survey attempts in February 2015 by the Fleet Hydrographic Unit failed to relocate the wreck, leading to its classification as dead or non-existent at the charted position.
