We dove it Saturday. It's a nice little wreck. It seems evident that it was involved in a major collision and nose dived into the bottom when it's coal cargo shifted forward. The stern hull has a bit of damage probably sustained when it hit the solid bottom. One of the masts is laying next the ship on the bottom. It's in the shipping lane which makes it kinda curious as to how it remained undiscovered for so long.
I suspect it's the Gertrude, but we'll see. Nice wreck.
