Notes : |
The deck is vertical and starts at about 22m, and vis was suprisingly good. The wreckis broken up a mis ships, however the funnels can still be made out lying on the bed ( 3 of them) amd the conning tower is still in place. Once again this wreck is easy to enter, especially at the aft of the ship where the electrical rooms and coal bunkers where situated, it is possible to get to the remains of the steering gear and the turbo however a line and much caution are advised
