This is the wreck of a mid engined steamer with x1 boiler, x3 furnaces. The engine has toppled and is now buried beneath wreckage. There is a large cylindrical object aft of the boiler. First impression was that this might be a vertical donkey boiler. The wreck seems to have fallen in on itself in places. For the most part the site is no more than 2mtrs in height excluding the boiler which is about 12 feet in height.
All the usual fittings can be seen, winches, double bollards, masts and so on. Following the prop shaft away from what would have been the engine room area the wreck comes to an abrupt end with no sign of wreckage there after.
