Hi Kas

The one i dived off Dover roughly in line with the top of the Varne bank as you leave Dover Western Entrance, and just on the edge of the lanes (Dover side) matches very much your description, also lots of masts and spars, canvas and rope around.

However the Komett or New Komett is elsewhere as i know the bell has been recovered.

The one we dived i think you will find is the SS Hermann, nothing found to confirm this, but it is about the only unlocated one in the area to match the description, being a combined sail and steam ship. Dave Batchelor came out with this ID and i think he is smack on with it.

I need to go back to her anyway as i left one of my lifting bags on her a month or so ago
