Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck ST LAURENT is located off the coast of French Guiana, South America, positioned at coordinates 05° 37' N, 053° 19.5' W. Historical records indicate the vessel sits in an approximate general depth of 6 meters. Originally reported in 1933 and initially marked by a conical buoy, the wreck site has been cross-referenced through various historical maritime surveys and French hydrographic charts. This underwater obstruction represents a significant navigational hazard in the regional coastal waters, with documented updates from 1964, 1977, and 1991 refining its charted position. Maritime databases identify the wreck site as a known underwater obstacle, though no specific structural details regarding the hull material or current preservation state are confirmed. Mariners should exercise caution when navigating in the vicinity of these coordinates.
