Side scan sonar data was gathered at the charted location for V78 after the hull was recovered by Messrs Cox and Danks on 7 September 1925. No ground-truthing was carried out as part of this project. The area was dived in 1998 by one of the authors of this report, and the remains of a funnel and a base of the bridge section were found hard pressed into the sand. A ship’s telegraph was recovered marked V-78 and is now in a museum in Stettin, Germany (RoW Droit number 754/99). Only very small items are thought to be present on the site, including a large number of brass flag Inglefield clips, most likely from the signal room.
