Site Description The Manhattan burned and was partially salvaged so much of the ship has been removed. The model is part of the bottom of the ship and a small piece of one of the sides of the ship. The rudder, steel plates and life boat davits are also extant on the site. There is a lot of natural wood — tree trunks and branches littering the site. A sonar target suggests the boiler is in deeper water.
