Simplified Wreck Survey

The wreck of the German submarine UC 10 is located in the North Sea off the coast of the Netherlands at coordinates 52 1.952 N, 3 53.92 E. This World War I warship was sunk during naval operations, and while historical records initially listed approximate sinking coordinates of 52 02 00N, 03 54 00E for filing purposes, the site is now recognized at its precise modern location. The underwater obstruction remains officially classified as dead and is not currently charted by the primary hydrographic authority. Explorers and maritime historians tracking the UC 10 should be aware that the site contains the remains of a steel-hulled vessel, which is considered well broken due to the impact of its sinking and over a century of exposure to the North Sea environment.
