Show the answer

A wreck considered dangerous to surface vessels. The line with three cross strokes is a wreck whose depth is not known. The dotted "danger line" round it means it is considered dangerous to surface navigation. The same symbol without the dotted line is a wreck not considered dangerous to surface vessels, which is still no promise of safe depth for every boat.
