It starts at 40 ft. and runs down to 100 ft. It is fairly easy to find. There are two large ships moored in the Bay. One can park at the docks/art gallery and surface swim towards the stern(closer to shore) of the ship and then drop in 40 ft of water. The wreckage is quite large so it is hard to miss. The deeper wreckage is fairly compact, so we covered it in 20 min. and then headed up.
The slope is steepish, so when you leave the wreck you can either swim in blue water to the docks, or swim to the shore and follow the contour back to the docks.
The silt at Britannia Beach is like fine talcum powder. It doesn't take much to stir it up. Have a good dive.
I am in the middle of editing a video, which I do to document new dive sites. I'll post it when it is finished so you can get an idea of the wreckage. If anyone can figure out what the wreckage is, or what all the "holes" are that would be great!

Here's some video footage of the wreck. By the way, does anyone have any documentation that denotes this as the SS Joan?
