More Wrecks in Database Than Charted

There are thousands of recorded shipwrecks and many are not shown on navigation charts. Navigation charts only contain wrecks which are considered to be a navigational hazard. SeaZone has a database of UK wrecks information and extensive worldwide coverage. The data is captured from multiple sources, detailing wreck location and additional information including wreck depth, identification, state, cargo, and circumstance of loss.
SeaZone can provide information relating to wrecks in a specific geographic area or can make the whole wrecks database available under license. This information is fully available for use in customer GIS systems.
SeaZone wrecks data is used by a diverse range of organisations, including Government departments, research organisations, archaeology consultants and diving groups.
