In summer 1990, for a short time, the sand was swept away from the bow, which stood 2m clear of the bottom and was obviously broken from the main hull, as it faced completely into shore, listing heavily to port. The hull could be seen running back towards the stern until it disappeared into the seabed. Several portholes and rigging blocks were removed (mcdonald 1991).
