Details metingen/cartografie: H4199/78 24.10.78 BROKEN UP WRECK OR OBSTN LOCATED 26.9.77 IN 505914N, 011027E [OGB] USING TRISPONDER [2 LOP]. NOT FOUND BY E/S, BUT OBVIOUS ON DCS3. (HMS BULLDOG, HI 35/77). CHART AS FOUL. BR STD. 10.10.22 The wreck was rediscovered by divers in approximately 2018. Diving investigation revealed that a large quantity of the ceramic cargo was still in situ. The ceramic assemblage is principally comprised of wares from three Staffordshire based potteries ? Mexborough, Charles Meigh, and Davenport. Several of the ceramic types discovered are unknown in current museum collections, or have previously only been seen in the formof wasters.Interpretation of geophysical data indicates that the full length of the vessel survives in situ, with a maximum length of 46m, and a maximum width of 10-11m, which is consistent with the known dimensions of thevessel. A potential vertical break in the hull is located approximately halfway along the wreck mound. This corresponds with the position which the Mangerton was reported to have collided with the Josephine Willis. Itwould appear that the wreck has broken it?s back and the remaining structure lies in two halves. The wreck mound is orientated NNW-SSE on a seabed comprised of gravelly sand, at a depth of approximately 23m. The mound extends to a height of 0.9m. The height of the surviving wreck mound indicates that there is likely to be a considerable depth of surviving stratigraphy. 10.10.22 "JOSEPHINE WILLIS" LOCATED IN 5101.330N, 0111.488E [WGD] HAS BEEN AWARDED SCHEDULED MONUMENT STATUS (The Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979), DTD 25/08/2022.
