Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck known as the Venus is a documented underwater obstruction located at coordinates 45 32.45 N, 1 1.883 W, situated in the Bay of Biscay near the French coastline. Historical survey records indicate the site was initially marked by a conical light buoy following its discovery in 1934. Subsequent hydrographic surveys by the UK Hydrographic Office later amended the status of the Venus wreck to dead, and it has since been removed from active navigational warnings. While the precise structural integrity of the site may vary, maritime enthusiasts and divers typically categorize such underwater wreckage based on its environmental impact and degradation over time.
