The Ken Marschall painting of the port side of the stern "based on
photographs taken of the wreck" shows bent and wrinkled lower side
plating with some rips that cross plate edges.
I think I remember seeing a painting of the other side with the plates
separated along the seams. Maybe that was another shipwreck?
