Surveying Details
-----------------------------
3 October 1983. An object, possibly a wreck, was located on 24 July 1983 using sonar at 57 33 29N, 001 32 54W. Its length was 15 metres (49 feet), and its height above seabed was 12 metres.
Report by Gardline surveys, 13 September 1983.
17 April 1991. A possible obstruction was located at 57 33 29.6N, 001 31 39.1W. The length is about 15 metres (49 feet), and height 12 metres.
Report by Shell exploration and production, sheet 3 of 33 Fulmar to St FERGUS pipeline survey.
Hydrographic Office 1995.
This is apparently the wreck annotation that Whittaker tentatively equates with the SS Egenaes (NK24NE 8001), which was torpedoed and sunk 22 March 1917. This equation remains unverified.
