Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck RELIANCE is located off the coast of Scotland near the Firth of Forth at coordinates 56 12.995 N, 2 30.092 W. Initially reported as a sunken vessel in 1990, subsequent hydrographic surveys conducted in 1994 failed to locate the wreck at the reported position, leading the UK Hydrographic Office to classify the site as dead. Mariners navigating these coastal waters should be aware that while the RELIANCE was historically documented in the vicinity of the Firth of Forth, recent surveys have not confirmed the existence of a structural obstruction or wreckage at these coordinates.
