Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater wreck site located in the North Sea off the coast of the United Kingdom at coordinates 51 34.651 N, 2 2.232 E. This underwater obstruction was formally identified and surveyed in 2017. The wreckage is classified as intact, upright, and largely buried within the seabed. Detailed multibeam survey data confirms the wreck measures 33.9 meters in length, 7.3 meters in width, and has a height of 2.4 meters. The least depth over the wreck is recorded as 47.44 meters in a general seabed depth of 50 meters. The wreck structure shows a clear orientation of 057/237 degrees, with a scour feature measuring 22 meters long and 1.8 meters deep extending towards 198 degrees. Previous reports dating back to 1934 and 1971 were historically investigated and subsequently amended or marked as non-existent until the current site was confirmed. This site is now officially documented for navigational safety and maritime records.
