It is upright, completely intact, standing 6.5 m high at the stern end with the bows to the ESE, and covered in a profusion of soft corals. The bridge structure at the stern is slightly collapsed but, apart from the mast, everything else is in reasonable condition. The wreck covers an area 50 m long by 11 m wide. If the bell is located, it should be inscribed: Glanton Firth 1920.
