Diver inspection (2013) and multibeam sonar survey in January 2017 recorded a deep seabed depression and debris associated with the scuttling and primary salvage of Sms Derfflinger at this location by Metal Industries Ltd in 1939. The main features of wreckage lie to the south of the seabed depression caused by the hull. Moving from west to east are the remains of the two legs of the tripod mast, the southerly leg leading to a small searchlight platform. A diesel boat engine lies on the seabed. Further to the east still are the missing central leg of the tripod mast, and remains of the ship’s mainmast with an open platform and crow’s nest.
