Simplified Wreck Survey
Underwater shipwreck details for the vessel identified as the SKULDA, located in the North Sea off the coast of Scotland near the Firth of Forth. The wreck is situated at coordinates 56 01.234 N, 003 18.550 W. This prominent and intact shipwreck measures approximately 40.6 meters in length, 10.5 meters in width, and stands 8.0 meters high on the seabed. It lies on an orientation of 010/040 degrees. Survey data indicates a least depth of 22.53 meters within a general water depth of 30 meters. A scour pit approximately 2.5 meters deep extends 45 meters from the wreck towards the 045-degree mark. Originally charted as a 12-fathom obstruction, modern sonar surveys confirm it as a well-defined underwater wreck.
