Simplified Wreck Survey

The underwater wreck PLUS is located at coordinates 60 2.683 N, 19 54.117 E in the Baltic Sea near the Finnish coast. Historical hydrographic survey records from the UK Hydrographic Office note that a wreck was initially reported in the area in 1935, accompanied by a wreck light buoy that was later withdrawn. Subsequent surveys in 1966 reported the site for the time being, but official Finnish chart evaluations in 2009 marked the obstruction as dead and removed from active navigation charts.
