The wreck is identified as broken and partially buried, measuring 55.1 meters in length, 10 meters in width, and standing 3.5 meters high. The site features a scour mark 20.52 meters long and 0.7 meters deep, with the wreckage oriented along a 177/357-degree axis. Historical records indicate the presence of a magnetic anomaly at this location, with previous survey data noting it as a small, potentially structural wreck site. Mariners and researchers should note the updated wreck depth of 15.1 meters at this position.
