Simplified Wreck Survey
Wreck identification and survey details for the SS Ugie, a maritime obstruction located off the coast of Scotland near the Firth of Tay. The wreck of the SS Ugie is situated at coordinates 56 22.974 N, 2 27.743 W. Latest hydrographic survey data confirms the site as an intact and upright vessel. The wreck measures approximately 40 meters in length, 8 meters in width, and has a height of 3.2 meters. The least depth over the wreck is measured at 26.9 meters within a general seabed depth of 30.1 meters. Observations indicate a strong magnetic anomaly and a scour depth of 0.5 meters located near the bow and stern. The vessel lies on a heading of 130/320 degrees with the bow pointing northwest. Historical records from the UK Hydrographic Office note the site was originally identified by HMS Shipham in the 1970s and subsequently associated with the SS Ugie in 1981. This underwater obstruction is marked on nautical charts to ensure safe maritime navigation in the region.
