Description

The wreck of a clinker-constructed vessel 8.5 m long by 2.7 m at the widest point. The remains of plywood decking are visible in the possible wheelhouse area together with wooden engine mounting with metal brackets. The hull has been badly holed on both sides. Parts of the cabin lie strewn for up to 100 m to the N of where the hulk now rests. August 2014 Almost completely destroyed. All that remains of this vessel is a single piece of wood, possibly the stem or stern post, just over 1m long with Fe fittings and copper nails.
