Simplified Wreck Survey

The wreck of the vessel known as RAVEN is located off the coast of Swansea, Wales, at coordinates 51 36.367 N, 3 55.567 W. Following official survey reports from the UK Hydrographic Office, this underwater obstruction has been officially documented as demolished, with all associated navigational marker buoys removed. Previous records indicate the site was previously cleared and found to have no further action (NFA) required after multi-beam sonar surveys failed to detect the structure. Consequently, the wreck site is considered cleared and no longer poses a navigational hazard in these waters.
