58 53.158 N 2 54.414 W This site was assessed by side scan sonar surveys using a winch-towed towfish.
The side scan image shows a substantial amount of well broken down wreckage measuring 80m long by 11m beam. The remains are oriented southwest to northeast with the bow to the southwest. The bow is the highest point of the vessel standing about 5m proud of the seabed. The remains of the midships and stern section appear more broken down.
There is no visible evidence of the engines/boilers on the image though a small contact (4m long x 2.5m wide) was identified in the area thought to be where the engine room was located.
