Comment: http://www.michaelmcfadyenscuba.info/viewpage.php?page_id=229 Today the wreck is located on the north side of Dublon Island in 33 metres of water, an excellent depth for diving. A GPS Reading of N7° 22' 58.3" E151° 51' 20.7" will put you in the bridge. The wreck lies in its port side and the starboard hull is about 12 metres down and is a flat expanse that extends as far as you can see. As one would expect, this is an enormous wreck, the second biggest shipwreck I have dived (the SS President Coolidge of course is the biggest). The dive boats generally anchor in the bridge area. As you drop over the side of the hull you can really appreciate the size of the wreck. The masts lie angled down towards the sand and there are a number of small kingposts. You can swim under these as you explore the (former) top deck of the ship.
