Lying on her port side in about 46m of water at the deepest part of the ship. There are planes in the forward hold # 2 - Actually Tabby aircraft but they are hard to recognise now. Well lets put it this way, i took lots of pictures of it and I am still wondering what the hell it was!!!

Plenty of truks now standing almost virtically upright as the ship is on its side and they were in the hold. Again not in such good condition. Plenty of plane engines too. Aircraft barrels more bombs and other unrecognisable aircraft parts in hold #1.

As per usual the wheel house is great with colourful telegraphs and steering colums. Engineroom was really narrow and dirty but you can really easily see the pistons of the steam engines. I would have loved to see them in action!
