Simplified Wreck Survey
The shipwreck Tae Yang No.111 is located at coordinates 21 44.1 S, 174 38.9 E, situated on a reef near the coast of Tonga in the South Pacific Ocean. Originally stranded as a listing vessel on the highest part of the reef, the wreck of the Tae Yang No.111 has undergone significant structural changes over time. Historical survey data from the UK Hydrographic Office describes the vessel as having been partially awash in heavy seas with a starboard list and the bow facing approximately 290 degrees. While earlier reports identified the wreckage as conspicuous and intact, subsequent inspections have noted that the structure is no longer clearly visible. The site, defined by its precise maritime coordinates, remains a recorded underwater obstruction for navigation in the region.
