Simplified Wreck Survey

The TIKONKO 7 wreck is an underwater obstruction located off the coast of Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, Atlantic Ocean, at coordinates 27 56.72 N, 15 22.265 W. Initially recorded following its sinking near the coastline in 1999, subsequent hydrographic assessments by the UK Hydrographic Office and Spanish maritime authorities determined that the obstruction is no longer considered a navigational hazard. While historical records placed the TIKONKO 7 in the coastal waters of Gran Canaria, recent chart reviews and survey data indicate that the site is now classified as dead and the wreck is not charted by the primary authority for this region.
