British Monarch was mined, so presumably what you're interested in are the minefield locations. These would be three mines each from:

42°56.8'N, 6°09.5'E to 42°57.?'N, 6°10.2'E
42°57.6'N, 6°10.6'E to 42°57.5'N, 6°11.7'E
42°57.7'N, 6°13.1'E to 42°58.5'N, 6°13.7'E
42°58.2'N, 6°16'E to 42°57.8'N, 6°16.2'E

If you're looking for the wreck, I would also recommend getting ahold of the official statement (questionnaire) on the sinking, as it describes the sinking from the steamer's perspective. Oliver Lörscher may also know more and likely has seen the statement.

Best wishes,
Michael
