Multibeam sonar survey on board MV Scotia (2017) recorded the remains of the Sms Brummer. The data was partially processed by the 3DVisLab, University of Dundee. Comparison of this data with data gathered in 2006 (by ADUS) provides evidence of deterioration over an approximately ten-year period. Changes include rotation of the hull mid-section, most likely due to deterioration of the deck which can no-longer support the weight of the hull. In 2017, the bow has collapsed and the deck structure further aft has peeled away . Diver observations in 2021 indicated that the condition of this section has deteriorated further. The stern deck of Brummer had fallen away and separated into broken sections by 2017 resulting in the stern hull rotating towards the seabed with the rudder no longer suspended in mid-water.
