General Comments

SOURCE UNKNOWN--THIS SUNKEN WRECK, ED, PREDATES THE FIRST EDITION OF CHART 11347 (AUGUST 19, 1967). (ENTERED 7/02 BY MBH) S-K612-WH-02 (HLS) -- 200% SSS and 100% SWMB coverage was acquired over the navigable waters of the contact. The side-scan imagery of a wreck was found in the area and it correlates with AWOIS item #11597. SWMB indicated a significant change with its surrounding depths. Its least depth is 21 ft (6.56m). USCG, Army Corp, and Divers investigated the item and described it as a 25 ft steel hulled vessel laying on its side with 50% of its hull sunk in the bottom. Hull is deteriorated with fishing nets entangle on it. Hydrographer recommends deleting the "ED" wreck charted on 30°12'41.570" N, 093°15'34.210" W and add a "22ft" wreck symbol on position 30°12'39.557" N, 093°15'36.239" W.Updated 7/24/2006 JCM.
