General Comments

H11723, 2007; An uncharted ship wreck was discovered in the Peacock Spit area north of the Columbia River bar in Lat. 46.271063 N, Lon. 124.098549 W (NAD83)The wreck itself is large in size, approximately 70 to 75 meters in length and 15 to 16 meters wide. It has a least depth of 15.4 feet in an area with an average surrounding depth of approximately 24 to 28 feet. It appears to be partially deteriorated as a result of time, as well as being mostly buried in the sandy bottom. The wreck was covered with 200% side scan sonar as well as investigated with MBES. Side scan contacts have been selected and a sounding has been designated in CARIS HIPS/SIPS to represent least depth. The hydrographer recommends charting as a dangerous wreck, with least depth provided by MBES bathymetry.(KRW 03/03/2008)
