I direct your attention to the paper "Optimizing protocols for high-definition imaging of historic shipwrecks using multibeam echosounder" which is available as a pdf at URL [pure.ulster.ac.uk]

Although a highly technical paper in another field, it contains at the end a stunningly underwater "point cloud" picture of the full hull of the SS Chirripo - mined in the Irish Sea in December 1917 - lying on her side at the seabed with a clearly visible hole from the mine.

It also have several pictures of the wrecks of SS Polwell and SS Neotsfield, both 1918 losses, although these scans are smaller and with less details.
