Simplified Wreck Survey
Underwater Wreck and Obstruction Survey Details for WALKER NO 2 located near Buenos Aires along the coast of Argentina at coordinates 34 35.383 S, 58 21.45 W. Historical hydrographic survey records from the UK Hydrographic Office document the site starting from July 1936 when a dangerous wreck was first reported. Over the decades, navigational aids including conical buoys and a flashing green light (FL G 6S) were established and modified nearby. Reports note the wreck occasionally uncovers and is situated near the breakwater at Escollera del Este. Later British Admiralty chart updates show the status amended, and the obstruction was eventually removed from modern charts.
