The first was ignorance of the position of the hull, the second the lack of suitable diving equipment.

The liner is believed to have been located by echo-sounder apparatus by Capt. Henry B. Russell, of Glus- gow, in command of on expedition in the 459-ton Ophir in October, 1935, at a point 11.2 miles
