An interesting wreck, sunk by 3 bomb hits. Deck cargo of possibly captured American guns. Holds very interesting , full off shells, mines, fuel drums, crates of bottles and other items. Tank on port deck. Water
transportation tanks in forward hold. Shoals of glass fish making photography awkward, the only way to take pictures through them was to disperse them by flashing your torch beam at them and quickly take your
picture before they reformed.
Tonnage 3,763 ts
Max depth 44m
My max depth 43m
Lies upright with a list to port
