Simplified Wreck Survey

Underwater wreck site located at coordinates 36 49.6 N, 2 27.9 W near the coast of Almeria, Spain. Historical UK Hydrographic Office surveying records indicate the former presence of multiple submerged obstructions including a tug, a sailing vessel, and a dredger near the breakwater head. Following an extensive data re-assessment, these underwater wreck positions were found to be historical, vague, and no longer present on modern nautical charts. This site is officially classified as a dead or non-existent obstruction for modern navigation purposes.
