Her hull remained in Halifax's Northwest Arm until the 1930s.
However, lying in shoal water, the hull remained above the surface so most men were rescued by cutting holes in the hull.

The ship's hull remains in Wellington today as an important archaeological site.
Her construction was canceled in August 1945, but her hull remained until 1958 when it was broken up.

Until 2013, the half-built hull remained at the shipyard with an uncertain future.
No hull remains were found in the 1997 excavation season.
