Site Description The site contains the forward 302 feet of the ship since the aft 278 feet of the ship was salvaged. Most of the site consists of large sections of the sides, deck and bottom of the ship surrounded by pieces of the hull. There are several bitts on site but little else recognizable ship machinery. The windlass is reportedly on site but not included in the model. Due to the poor visibility at the time of the survey the model only consists of an estimated 60% to 70% of the area of the site which covers more than a football field of wreckage.
