· Wreck sits on her port side and is rolled over on to her starboard rail along the forecastle. Access to the starboard deck and holds is provided by the considerable height difference between the rail on the fore- and sterncastle decks and the rail on the main deck. · Moderate to heavy zebra mussel infestation present. · At the bow, the wheelhouse and bow structure are completely submerged beneath the bottom. 3 of 4 port holes on the forecastle are open (I wonder if this contributed to sinking?). Peering into these, one can see a tangle of planks, lanterns, furniture, and lots of silt... An anchor hangs with its fluke tips sticking above bottom. · Peering out across the bottom, numerous pieces of assorted debris can be seen, mostly covered in silt. · Just aft and below the Forecastle deck, is a closed hatch, which leads to the cabin area of the forecastle. · Continuing aft, a large deck winch hangs from the inverted main deck along with assorted other rigging. The forward hold is wide open. · Approximately amidships, there is a series of stairs and a ladder way that lead below deck. · At the sterncastle, portions of the cabin remain above the bottom. Several open doors and windows, less glass, to be seen here. Pieces of the lifeboat davit, which (according to photos) originally was mounted above the cabin roof, protrude from the bottom along with some planking. The hull here contains more open portholes and a square, cut-out hatchway less cover. Approximately, 30' [9m] off of the wreck, the inverted  bow of a large, steel lifeboat rises at an angle from the bottom. Several pieces of what I assume is rigging associated with connection to the davits still hang from the inside. · At the stern, a large four-bladed prop remains completely above the bottom. The enormous rudder is heeled over to starboard, presumably due to gravity. · Overall she appears quite virgin. Lets work to keep her that way. 

· Setting aside the excitement of this spectacular find, hopefully we can set a goal to eventually erect some type of marker memorializing the fifteen sailors that lost their lives in the sinking, the majority of which are, more than likely, entombed below decks. The names of those lost -- as reported by The Buffalo Evening News, July 29, 1930: Capt. Thomas J. Waagoe, Michael Emling, Arthur Walters, William Neueseler, Harry Brooks, Arthur Zeck, Thomas Pierce, Jack Stalley,  Ed ?
