Simplified Wreck Survey

The underwater shipwreck known as WARRIOR 2 is located at coordinates 50 24.536 N, 2 11.33 W off the coast of Grove Point in the United Kingdom. Historical hydrographic survey records from the UK Hydrographic Office note that initial reports from Lloyds placed the obstruction near 502430N, 021115W, with later records indicating the vessel sank approximately 10 miles southeast of Grove Point. Although a subsequent close sonar search by HMS Scott in 1964 found nothing and the wreck was historically amended to dead and deleted from charts, the site remains a matter of maritime history and hydrographic interest.
