Significant fracture of the hull forward on the starboard side and located a cannon base installed in the hull at the stern and the tube of the same, buried by the mud at the bottom.
Mainly this last detail, historically places the sinking in the last period of the First World War, definitively confirming that it is the English steamer “Perim”. Although armed, she sank in collision with another ship (the Wilston), both sailing with their lights off for fear of German U-boats.
