The wreck lay intact on its port side, its masts and crane jibs spreading themselves across the sand and gravel seabed. |
It was possible to swim alongside the side of the wreck and look down towards the seabed. |
The wreckage of the vessel was found last week on the seabed over 130 feet below the waves. |
The source of the oil is unknown and is thought to have possibly sprung from an old wreck lying on the seabed which has rusted away. |
At the midships section the keel is suspended above the seabed and there is plenty of space to swim through. |
At the top is the steering quadrant, while at the bottom the rudder lies flat against the seabed. |
