Sonar image of HMS Natal - c2003

Ian says "This is a recent sonar scan photograph of the remains of HMS Natal. Photograph courtesy Gordon Campbell of Aspect Land and Hydrographic Surveys.

The black part in the middle is just a blind spot immediately under the boat with the scanners transmitting on either side so it is the jumble of wreckage on top and bottom which is all thats left of the Natal"

Comments

When the Natal's armour plating was being salvaged in the late 1930s, high explosive was used to tear the wreck apart, so this might explain why the ship has disintegrated.
