58 52.950 N 2 53.933 W This site was assessed by side scan sonar surveys using a winch-towed towfish.
The side scan image shows 3 strong circular contacts that appear to be partially buried. These are aligned north to south. The features stand 1m – 2m proud of the seabed, and are associated with several strong contacts to the southwest including a linear feature that would appear to be a propeller shaft. The linear contact and other features were not ground-truthed as the side scan surveys were completed after the dives and the remains were not encountered during the search of the area. If the linear feature is a propeller shaft it would suggest the vessel was oriented
southwest to northeast with the bow to the northeast.
