Unknown wreck number 423

We returned from M-94 to Kalana at 14. Then quickly unloaded our tanks from the boat to trailer. Sander drove the tanks to base to be filled up. Meanwhile we had soup for lunch. Then looked at the local sightseeing until 16:30 when Sander returned with our filled tanks. It was a rainy afternoon. Then tanks back to the wooden boat and we heded towards the next dive site, which was not that far away from the previous site, at 58°52'48.882"N 22°03'02.023"E. This was a recently discovered wreck and totally unknown. So far it has not been possible to identify it. It is probably from WW1 era. It has metallic hull, that is badly broken and partially buried under sand. There are remains of a steam engine with boiler, long axel going to a huge propeller. No armament, so more likely a civilian vessel.
At 17:30 we reached the site, and again Sander dived down and attached a rope to the wreck so we could moor the boat.
Me and Leppis went down quickly and dived the entire 50 min around the wreck several times. Is it was quite late and sun at a low angle, there wasn’t much light. Visibility a bit better than at the M-94. There was a sandy bottom with scattered rocks, quite even at 16…17 m. The highest point of the wreck was the remains of the steam engine at 12 m. Otherwise structures were only 1 to 2 m above the sand, and apparently a lot of the wreck was under the sand. Probably all of the remaining artefacts are under sand too. At this location the waves can get fierce with S/W winds. Probably the wreck has seen some 100 years of sand grinding.
Again, the dive operation went fine without any issues for everyone on the boat. We returned to the harbor in nice sunshine and returned back to Randmae for late dinner and then sauna.
