Built in
Hamburg, and launched in 1916. A "Kleiner Kruizer",
light cruiser/mine layer displacing 5531 tons and an overall length of
510 feet (155 metres).
The Coln lies in 30-35 metres of water,
resting on her starboard side. The least depth over her port side
is about 20 metres. She is relatively intact, apart from a hole
blasted at her stern, and minus her propellers and anchor. The
features of the ship are clearly recognisable though covered in a
variety of marine life, including sponges and brittlestars.
