| The cargo was cotton, mail for british troops and wine and soda bottles, which were still visible until a few years ago. The ship itself is mostly corroded and covered in soft coral.
This site is dived at 27m and is considered a relatively easy wreck dive, although rough sees can make it more difficult.
