Description

A group of seven of the punts which transported the mud and sediment cleared from the channel of the Clyde by dredgers to keep the river open for shipping. The punts are in varying states of preservation, some are visible as outlines of posts, others have sides standing to c.0.75m including frames and planking with areas of iron sheeting visible. Standing on a sandy foreshore where a low stone-built quay has collapsed. Further groups at 12679 and adjacent to the schooners at 12681. More detail at https://scharpblog.wordpress.com/2014/10/23/the-newshot-ship-graveyard-part-2-a-very-special-vessel/. 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/.
