Simplified Wreck Survey
The wreck of the Tamara XII, identified as a cargo vessel, is located in the North Sea off the coast of Scotland at coordinates 59 0.14 N, 2 23.181 W. Underwater surveys confirm the shipwreck lies in a general depth of 82 meters, with a least multibeam depth of 73 meters. The vessel measures 97 meters in length, 12.5 meters in width, and stands 8.5 meters high. The wreck is oriented on a 012/192 degree axis with the bow pointing north. While the structure remains generally intact, there is a visible break approximately 64 meters from the bow. Divers have reported that the main engine and boilers are missing, though a small diesel generator remains onsite. This submerged obstruction is a significant maritime site for researchers and divers investigating North Sea shipwrecks.
