Looking SW over the 35-metre-long wreck, an obvious fracture probably corresponds to the zone of impact of the mine. Despite the extensive damage, tank bearings and even a track on the port side can be identified in the tangle of metal. A little further on frames are visible on the port side.
The southern end of the wreck is more damaged. Nevertheless, an overturned tracked vehicle is visible with exposed tracks. Given its position on the site, it was part of the cargo.
