Historic ship wreck site of the Rheno located at coordinates 53 30.219 N, 0 41.893 E off the coast of England near Spurn Light Vessel in the North Sea. Following a historical collision, multiple modern marine surveys conducted by HMS Beagle, Oceonics UK Ltd, and CEFAS between 1983 and 2014 failed to locate the remains, leading hydrographic authorities to classify the wreck position as dead and not found.
