  A. New Evidence
2. The Rabe-Bemis Diving Expedition in August 2000
 
2.3.4 The starboard front bulkhead - Page 8
 
Further explanation as to the “arrow 6” area:
The image below from October 1994 shows the area in question with the steel flaps – arrows 1 and 2 – in foreground, the bow ramp – then more in the centre line – with a wooden pallet in between (the pallets and other debris are only visible on the October 1994 videos and had disappeared when the divers came two months later).

The image below to the left taken in December 1994 shows the bow ramp still in some distance from the steel flap (arrow 1), while on the below right image from August 2000 the bow ramp is almost overlapping the steel flap. Arrows 2 point to the severely distorted and sideways bent mating lug of the starboard securing hook of the bow ramp. The bolt of the lug is apparently intact, the securing hook is invisible, although it should be visible.
