Seen to be recorded in the inter-tidal zone in Pegwell Bay, and to be the northern site of two wrecks recorded on a north-south alignment parallel to the beach, and south-west of three sites just east of the low water mark in the marine zone nearby. (1)(2)

Oiriginal detection year 2010. (1)(2)

19-JAN-2011: Located in 51 17.355N 001 23.113E (WGS 84). Depth 0.25m, length 17m, with 8m, height 0.1m, orientated 085/265 degrees. Intact, ?wooden vessel, hull down [sic] in sediment, ribs apparently protruding. Charted as foul. (2)

In this inter-tidal location the manner of loss is interpretable as by stranding or beaching. The two wrecks may be coincidental, deposited at different times in different incidents, or represent a single wreck event. It is not possible to date the vessel without further investigation, but comparison with analogues among wreck sites revealed in inter-tidal locations around the coastline in the 21st century, and the vessel's wooden construction, suggests a potential post-medieval date. For the other site in the inter-tidal zone, please see 1619277. For the three sites tto the north-east, please see 1619282, Together the five sites suggest a ship graveyard. (3)
