Collings book on NE Shipwrecks states that the boat was attempting to sight the coast to fix their position, cleared a fog bank and immediately ran into the beach at 10 knots.
The wreck was part dismantled by the Royal Navy in the following months. A second round of stripping by salvors and locals occurred in 1938. Allegedly the conning tower was made of phosphor bronze. At some point after this it was blown up, and the wreck now lies scattered over a large area.
