Simplified Wreck Survey
The wreck of the vessel STANLEY BEE is located off the coast of Saint Lucia near Moule a Chique Point at approximate coordinates 13 42.5 N, 60 56 W. Historical survey data from the UK Hydrographic Office details the investigative history of this underwater obstruction. While initial surveys in 1976 identified potential wreckage and a submerged hull depth of 2 meters, later reports from the local Port Authority indicated the vessel was refloated and subsequently resunk in the vicinity of Moule a Chique Point. Due to challenging weather conditions and time constraints during subsequent maritime surveys, a definitive underwater structural assessment regarding the current integrity of the wreck—such as whether the remains are welded steel or a well broken debris field—remains unconfirmed. Official maritime records have since been amended to reflect the removal of the original charted hazard, maintaining the current coordinates for administrative filing and archival purposes only.
