However, some of the steeply angled hull plates have fallen off as salt water corrodes rivets holding the hull together.
Entanglement is an ever-present hazard.
Monofilament fishing line and ropes of every size and age litter the wreck. Many species of marine organisms make this artificial reef home. A pair of wolf eels has taken up residence beneath the ship's rudder, which lies in the sand about thirty feet from the true port side of the tanker. Crabs and lobster make their homes beneath fallen hull plates and openings in the hull swarm with fish of all types and sizes, including Cod. The wreck is also known for a large collection of bright red, twelve-legged starfish.
