Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck VERONIQUE is officially classified as dead or non-existent at its recorded coordinates of 44 34.94 N, 1 14.58 W, located off the coast of France near the Arguin Bank. Historical records indicate the vessel was originally reported stranded in 1970; however, subsequent hydrographic assessments conducted in 1998 found no evidence of the wreck on the latest nautical charts of the area. Following a comprehensive data re-assessment in June 2000, the status of the VERONIQUE was amended to dead, meaning the obstruction is no longer considered a navigational hazard at these coordinates. Surveying data confirms there is no wreckage, welded steel structure, or remains identified at this position in the Atlantic waters near the French coastline.
