Simplified Wreck Survey
The underwater wreck known as RUSTRINGEN is located in the North Sea at coordinates 53 46.527 N, 7 28.12 E. Historical surveying data indicates this obstruction has been monitored since 1944. Following various surveys and navigational updates, the current structural description of the wreck is classified as a sunken vessel lying at a depth of approximately 4.8 meters. The position has been refined over several decades, moving from its initial charted coordinates to the current verified location in the German Bight area of the North Sea. Historical records show the wreck was previously marked by a buoy in the late 1940s, which was subsequently withdrawn. Today, the wreck of the RUSTRINGEN serves as a charted underwater obstruction for maritime navigation in these coastal waters.
