The anchor and front deck cannon are still clearly visible whereas the cargo bay is full of motorbike tires and pipes.

The stern has suffered some structural damage however the deck cannon and propeller are still impeccably intact. On another note, baths, bed frames and light fixtures could be seen under the deck in passenger area.
