Four schooners, part of the boat graveyard at Newshot Island. Two lie at 247853, 670495, surrounded by the remains of at least 9 mud punts. A third sits at the mouth of the creek at 247844, 670567; submerged and only partly visible at low tide. A fourth lies slightly to the west of the main group at 247775, 670521. These vessels were burned by a fire at Kingston Docks on 18th June 1914, started when workmen used a red hot iron to bore a hole in creosote-soaked timbers, and taken downriver and dumped at Newshot Island out of the main channel.

Part of the boat graveyard recorded by the Newshot Island ShoreDIG project, and visible in the orthorectified photomosaic at http://scharp.co.uk/shoredig-projects/newshot-ship-graveyard/. Other than the vessel in the creek, all are being slowly being encroached upon by reed beds. Visited in May 2018 and recorded by drone survey. As previously described |
