Site Description The flattened steel wreck is mostly broken hull pieces but the forecastle deck and aft deck are intact with a worm gear driven windlass at the bow and rudder post and steering quadrant aft. There are also a couple other winches or winch parts scattered in the wreckage. The anchor chain goes off in the distance but was buried before I encountered the anchor. There are also several bitts on the aft deck and the hawse pipe on the forecastle deck.
