The 1993 season of work (by Strathclyde University Sub-Aqua Club under T Sharpe, M Bound and R Price) aimed to conduct pre-disturbance survey of the remains. In the event, guns on the periphery of the site were not surveyed for lack of time, and the locations of individual cannonballs were not recorded. 28 guns were identified and 23 of these were accurately recorded. The relatively small number of guns identified remains surprising, and may suggest that more of the wreck survives in deeper water, possibly beyond the limit of air diving.
