The largest part of her is the rudder section and cast propeller lying in 16m depth, the rest of the well broken wreck lies bow to the shore ending up in about 8m. Its on the rocks N of the W landing jetty on the Isle of May. The wreck lies with its keel orientated 090/270 and only the iron ribs of the keel and large 4-bladed propellor remain
