Wreck

Hi Nicolás

Thanks for discovering this wreck:
http://map.openseamap.org/?zoom=18&mlat … TFFTFFTTTT

Please tag it by:
   seamark:type=wreck
   seamark:wreck:category= *

The category is very important for navigation!
For "*" insert the right value which you find here

If the highest point of the wreck (mast, antenna) is known (by dregging or somehow else),
you can add the depth under chart datum (LAT) by:
   seamark:type=minimum_depth
   seamark:minimum_depth= ###

For "###" insert the depth in meters.

If the wreck is an important historical wreck (like 2nd-war or ancient Roman or Greek fleet), tag it by:
   historic=wreck
   name= *
   wreck:date_sunk= yyyy-mm-dd

For "*" insert the ship name
For yyyy-mm-dd insert the right datum (example: 1980-12-28)
Other wreck-keys you find here

Best regards, Markus

This is incorrect. "minimum_depth" is an attribute, not an object. Also, is not appropriate in this case. The attribute tags to use are:

seamark:wreck:category=*
seamark:wreck:water_level=*
seamark:wreck:depth=*
