Pictures of the wreck.
 
Stern section is an interesting dive. the stern sits hard up against a white sand slope of Fanamu Island. it was first thought that the captain tried to run the ship aground but with the stern pointing directly towards the island there might be another explaination. The contrast of the ship and sandy bottom is great photographically.
 
Stern gun. In Dan Baileys book it shows two pictures of the gun taken at differnent times. the 1998 image showed all this green algae. Well that algae plant weed thingie seems to have gone off the gun. But is still quite evident on the wreck massing most of the midship deck.
 
Stern section leaning hard against the sandy slope.
 
One of the crane trucks sitting in hold 1 now. There used to be crane tucks sitting on deck but now they are all on the bottom. Just shows you that these wrecks are continually falling apart. Artillery shells in hold 1
 
crates of beeri bottles in hold 2 and skip coming out of a doorway in the main superstructure. This is a very colourful wreck with loads of growth
starboard corridor, Simon M checks out the gorgonian fan.
one of the many colourful dafids laced with soft corals. Here skip works his majic!
