What is recorded here

Ninety-eight metres below County Antrim, the Calgarian still stands with her mast upright, an eighty-metre shadow in the dark water. She is not a small coaster or a scattered ribcage; she is a full armed merchant cruiser from 1918, large enough to swallow a room and tall enough to touch a submarine’s keel. The sea took her whole, and the whole is what makes her strange.

The official Northern Ireland wreck record identifies HMS Calgarian (poss.) as Armed merchant cruiser. It was lost in 1918. Recorded depth: 98m. Recorded condition: Intact, mast upright. Anomaly = 80m long X 8.5m high.
