Simplified Wreck Survey
The shipwreck Young Admiral is located at coordinates 53 2.69 N, 1 44.888 E off the English coast in the North Sea. Historical records indicate the sinking position was originally reported as 6 to 8 miles east-northeast of the former Naisborough Light Vessel. First charted following survey records from 1915 and filing references including H8203/19 and H4282/26, the site was historically designated as a non-dangerous wreck with its position approximate. Later hydrographic updates, including a 1972 Danish fishing chart listing and a 1992 survey by Land & Marine under reference HH090/524/01, resulted in the wreck being marked as dead and removed from active charts after it could not be found.
