Simplified Wreck Survey

The Star of Jeddah is an underwater wreck located at coordinates 21 20 N, 39 2 E on Mismari Reef in the Red Sea off the coast of Saudi Arabia. Historical hydrographic reports from the UK Hydrographic Office note that the vessel was reported sunk at this position, though later 1972 surveys suggested only one visible wreck remains on Mismari Reef, potentially corresponding to the Pearl of Victoria. Modern navigational charts confirm that the wreck is no longer shown on official Saudi charts or British Admiralty charts, indicating the feature is now dead and removed from active surveys.
