Vertical Datum: LAT 24-AUG-1955 Area of minimum diameter of 1700ft around position 51 29 54N 001 05 18E swept as near to the bottom as heavy growth of weed and uneveness of bottom would permit. Even 4ft from bottom at each boat, the sweep wire fouled and cleared at frequent intervals. 16 fouls were obtained, 3 of these in close proximity of reported position of wreck.
