Simplified Wreck Survey

Historical hydrographic survey details for the underwater wreck of the light vessel WESER LT VESSEL located at coordinates 53 50.583 N, 7 51.167 E in the North Sea off the coast of Germany. The wreck was originally reported in August 1945 at a depth of 7.6 meters, initially marked by a green conical light buoy with group flashing green lights. Over subsequent years through the late 1940s and 1950s, various hydrographic surveys recorded changing least depths ranging between 7.3 meters and 8.8 meters, along with periodic updates to the surrounding green cylindrical and conical light buoy markers. The wreck and its associated buoyage were officially deleted from official charts by the UK Hydrographic Office in 1960 and 1962 after being designated as dead and removed from maritime records.
