Full Description
The sea bed depth at the wreck is 50 m. The bows and forecastle are upright and intact, but her midships and stern are much the worse for wear. Her boiler is clearly in place in front of her engine, with its mounted reversing wheel. Foreward of the main boiler stands an upright donkey engine boiler. Divers discovered an engine steam gauge with the German inscription 'Fabrik Merke' and other German made engine fittings.
