Full Description

Vertical Datum: LAT Quality of Depth: ES 04-APR-1979 Examined in 51 25 08.4N, 001 29 30.0E. Least echosounder depth 12.5 in general depth 13m. Scour 1m. Side scan sonar height 1.7m. Small but firm sonar contact. This is a sizeable wreck buried in sandy bottom with only small portion above seabed. 27-SEP-1986 Examined in 51 25 08.0N, 001 29 30.0E. Least echosounder depth 12.0 in general depth 12 to 13m. Scour depth 14.6m. A second contact was located in 51 25 08.0N, 001 29 25.0E - 102m W of charted position - over which a least depth 12.6m, in a 13.5m scour, was observed. Small magnetic deflection and thought, therfore, may not be a wreck the size of REGIN.
