After cleaning the captain’s cabin from the sand it is established that the armored boat was sunk at full speed, all the levers of the ship are on “full speed ahead”. The captain’s cabin was burning inside it, apparently at that time there was only a captain. Discovered his revolver. Set to the name of another crew member. This sailor Kolegov V. K.. In the tank turret it was found, well-preserved belt with the inscription: Collegenow V. K. 1942.
