Simplified Wreck Survey
The shipwreck PEI HO was historically located off the coast of Casablanca, Morocco, near the Table d'Oukacha area. The vessel was recorded at coordinates 33 37.14 N, 7 33.467 W. Following a grounding incident in 1957, the wreck was initially reported lying at these coordinates and connected to the shore by a jetty. During the late 1950s, the structure was identified as being in the course of demolition and breaking up. Subsequent hydrographic records and official maritime data confirmed the site as cleared and amended the status of the obstruction to dead, indicating the wreck has been removed or no longer poses a hazard to navigation at this location.
