Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck Repton lies at coordinates 35 41.93 N, 22 56.96 E in the Mediterranean Sea south of the Peloponnese peninsula, Greece. Historically recorded in Lloyds War Losses WW1, this underwater obstruction remains a site of interest for maritime researchers. While historical data suggested varying locations, the wreck is currently categorized as too deep for standard navigational charting, and its structural integrity is considered well broken, consistent with a sunken vessel from the World War I era. This submerged wreck remains an underwater landmark in the deep waters of the Ionian Sea, requiring caution for deep-sea activities due to the nature of the remaining steel wreckage.
