Simplified Wreck Survey
Underwater Wreck Details: REGIN (POSSIBLY). This underwater obstruction is located in the North Sea off the coast of Kent, England, at coordinates 51 25.165 N, 001 29.311 E. Historical hydrographic surveys identify the site as a small, intact wreck submerged in a general depth of 13 meters. The latest survey conducted in December 2017 confirms the wreckage measures 3.3 meters in length, 3.5 meters in width, and stands 1.3 meters above the seabed with an orientation of 085/265 degrees. The site is currently charted as a foul with a least depth of 12.61 meters. Previous survey data noted historical magnetic anomalies and fluctuating depth readings, suggesting the obstruction is partially buried in a sandy seabed. This site is documented by the UK Hydrographic Office and remains an active point of interest for maritime navigation and coastal surveying.
