The Pruisenwrak, a gravel barge (duwbak) 50 by 8 m lying bow to the bank from 4 to 9.5 m, with the line from the chair at 2.4 m to the yacht, the tree cages, the rubble heap and the 1.6/4.3/5.2/6 m contours; the heading is about 180 degrees from the grass-bank entry. The shoreline is OpenStreetMap. The barge is drawn to its published size, pointing about 160 degrees from the entries, so positions are approximate.

A gravel pit at Thorn in Limburg, ten minutes from the Boschmolenplas and part of the same Maasplassen chain.

Thorn above water is worth the trip on its own: the witte stadje, a village of whitewashed brick that was for eight centuries a sovereign imperial abbey ruled by women.

One dive, 4 August 2024, to 9.9 m.
