The engine is in situ aft and some of the associated machinery lies on the port side seabed. The rudder is displaced to the port side with no sign of the propeller. The depth here is 49m. Close by another large part of the hull is completely upside down. The bilge keel can be seen. The seabed is of stones and gravel
