The wreck of the vessel TRAM is located at coordinates 50 45.934 N, 1 20.186 W off the south coast of England in the English Channel. Initially sinking in November 1994, the site was later subjected to salvage operations where the vessel was assumed raised in 1998. Subsequent hydrographic surveys conducted in 2007 and 2024 failed to locate the obstruction on the seabed, indicating it is no longer present at this marine location.
