Underwater Wreck Details: 5-Meter Speedboat Off Cornwall Coordinates 50 6.21 N, 5 31.55 W This wreck of a 5-meter speedboat sank in May 2013 near Penzance and Falmouth off the coast of Cornwall. Initially reported as a non-dangerous wreck that could move with the tide, the vessel was subsequently lifted by its owner in May 2013 and removed before ever being officially charted. A later multibeam survey in October 2016 confirmed the obstruction was no longer located at the site.
