Site Description The shallow site is comprised of the bottom of the ship and a portion of the port side. The machinery extant on site is the base of the engine, the propeller shaft, the shaft coupling and thrust bearing. The single expansion engine is documented as being replaced with a steeple compound engine so the base is likely for the compound engine. There is also a piece of the cylinder, pipes and various unidentifiable broken machinery pieces. The shaft log is intact.
