The machinery on site includes a single expansion steam engine, propeller shaft and propeller, rudder with quadrant, a firebox boiler with transverse steam drum, iron bitts on the piece of deck. The boiler lies on its side and the bottom of the firebox is off and rests nearby. No evidence of a fire pump is seen on site.
