Definitely the Centaur

Film and photos reveal three objects that absolutely prove the wreck is that of the Centaur.

One of the huge red crosses can be seen on the port side, plus there is the Blue Star Line star on the bow and the id number 47. This is definitely the vessel in question.

David Mearns describes this as a very bad wreck with the destruction evident.

Probably the hardest-to-take picture is of the slouch hat resting upon the ocean floor close to the wreck. This is the type of hat that would have been worn by officers and men of the ambulance group.

I saw a videos and 48 photos of the wreck at one news site. One photo showed the steward's hatch where survivor Martin Pash escaped. That had to be particularly rough on him as one of the three survivors still living.

The funnel was ripped off.
