- Year Sunk: The year of the vessel’s sinking is not mentioned.
- History: The history of the wreck is described as follows: “CL 1062/2006– NOS, NRT-4; An uncharted wreck was identified by side scan sonar and developed with single beam echosounder. The least depth was found to be 9.95 meters with the surrounding area depth of 13 meters. The least depth was taken at 42°48’24.116″N – 82°28’54.131″W. (Entered CEH 5/2008) H11914– OPR-W408-NRT4-08, 2008; The wreck was redeveloped during operations for H11915. A new LD was found to be 9.3 meters, 30 ft. It is recommended to delete the charted 32-foot dangerous sunken wreck and chart a 30-foot dangerous sunken wreck in the present survey location 42-48-24.0 – 082-28-54.0. (Updated CEH 2,2010).”
This information suggests that the submerged wreck was initially identified as an uncharted wreck using side scan sonar during operations carried out under CL 1062/2006 by NOS (National Ocean Service), NRT-4 (Navigation Response Team 4). The least depth of the wreck was determined to be 9.95 meters (approximately 32.64 feet) with the surrounding area depth of 13 meters (approximately 42.65 feet). The precise location of the least depth was recorded at 42°48’24.116″N – 82°28’54.131″W.
Later, during operations for H11915 under OPR-W408-NRT4-08 in 2008, the wreck was reevaluated, and a new least depth of 9.3 meters (approximately 30.51 feet) was found. As a result, it was recommended to update the charted information to reflect a 30-foot dangerous sunken wreck in the present survey location at 42°48’24.0″N – 082°28’54.0″W. This update was entered into the database in 2010.
Given that the wreck is marked as “dangerous to surface navigation,” mariners and authorities should exercise caution in the area and be aware of its presence while navigating.
