Side Scan Data
The side scan images show the remains of a well broken down vessel measuring 92m long by 19m beam. The remains are oriented north to south with the bow to the south. The stern section appears partially buried. Five strong contacts were noted midships, thought to be the remains of four boilers and an engine. The forward hold can be seen surrounded by ribs and other debris. The bow section is the highest point of the remains as is visible 20-20cm above the water at low tide.
