The shipwreck identified as the ST PATRICK is located at the coordinates 59 13.021 N, 3 30.845 W, situated in the waters off the northern coast of Scotland near the Pentland Firth. This underwater obstruction is a well-preserved, upright, and intact wreck resting on the seabed. Detailed hydrographic surveys confirm the vessel measures 50 meters in length, 15 meters in width, and stands 10.5 meters high, with a least multibeam depth of 82.8 meters. The wreck lies on a 125/305-degree orientation and exhibits a strong magnetic anomaly.
