Simplified Wreck Survey
Underwater wreck site identified as the possible remains of the vessel PARAGON located at coordinates 57 56.148 N, 3 12.275 W in the North Sea off the coast of Kinnairds Head. The wreckage is situated in approximately 60 meters of water with a recorded least echo sounder depth of 58 meters. Site surveys indicate a structure approximately 45 meters in length, lying on an orientation of 110/290 degrees. The site exhibits no scour and consists of broken-up wreckage. While historically associated with the PARAGON, surveys suggest the physical dimensions may be too large to definitively match the vessel. The site remains a documented underwater obstruction for maritime navigation records.
