Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck SANTA RITA is a documented underwater obstruction located in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the coast of Italy. The charted coordinates for the wreck are 42 35.5 N, 10 10.5 E. Historical records from the UK Hydrographic Office initially identified the site in 1946; however, subsequent hydrographic surveys and Italian nautical charts, including the 1979 edition of Italian chart 5, have officially amended the status of the SANTA RITA to dead, meaning the obstruction is no longer considered a navigational hazard at this location. As a result, the wreck has been removed from official maritime navigation charts.
