Recent C14 analysis dates the wreck into turn of the 20th century, albeit there’s a 26% chance, that it’s 200 years older. The main remnants conacenteration of the wreck lie in about 20m x 6m area. The wreck is made of softwood (pine/spruce) and appears to be clinker built - potentially of local origin, as there are no metal fastenings to be found. The wreck lies in about 6 to 9 meter depth. Allegedly, there’s another part of wreckage about 50m from this site, but it is not verified by MAS volunteers, who last dove on this modeled wrecksite in 2021.
