Welheim
The wreck lies on her port side with the top of the bow facing SW at 12m and the stern in 70m, on a slope of about 20°. The remains of a gun platform lie in 30m on the seabed near the bow, and coal can be seen in the holds. Anti-aircraft guns are visible near the bridge, which is midships. The massive funnel is still attached, just behind the bridge and main accommodation, at about 45m. The wreck is free of silt and makes an excellent dive. A Stolt Comex survey in August 1993 shows a propeller lying on the seabed near the stern, and a 5m diameter hole near the stern on the starboard side, presumably torpedo damage.
