Side Scan Data
The side scan images show a large quantity of wreckage comprising six prominent contacts, several lesser contacts and the remains of miscellaneous wreckage. This included a 14m long linear feature thought to be part of a mast or davit. One contact appears to have a raised feature that is in the area where there is thought to have been the remains of light armament. The main contacts are aligned east to west extending approximately 120m by 45m. There are numerous smaller contacts
outwith this. Most contacts are close to the seabed, with items standing at various heights between 1m and 2.5m proud of the seabed.
