Simplified Wreck Survey

The wreck of the RYDAL HALL is a documented underwater obstruction located in the English Channel near the coast of East Sussex, United Kingdom, at coordinates 50 44.436 N, 0 45.702 E. Historical surveying records from the UK Hydrographic Office indicate that the wreck was previously associated with the vessel EUPHORBIA, though later investigations disproved this connection. Recent underwater surveys, including searches conducted via multibeam sonar and magnetometer, failed to locate the RYDAL HALL at this specific site. Consequently, the wreck is classified as non-charted and effectively considered a dead record, as no substantial structural remains, such as welded steel or broken hull sections, have been confirmed at these coordinates.
