She's pointing NW - which would have been into the wind and waves at the time if she sank about when we think she did. There is also a strong sidescan image of a ridge or line in the sand stretching out ahead of the ship, which "could" be an anchor line. Perhaps she was at anchor when she went down. Difficult to tell.
ROV images will help us solve the rest of the mystery. With any luck we'll have a few calm days to get out there again this fall. She's rolling 5-9' today!
I've updated the Chicora page with some brief news of the find.
