Full Description

Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1985 Line 9: 0119 Photograph Number: KCC 1990 Line 8: 0155 (1). One of nine barges, line-astern, positioned on the eastern end of the island. These form the land edge between the two forts. They are not on earlier surveys. This is the third from the south. It is double-ended but does not have the same open hold of many in the line. On the photographs there is a slightly smaller rectangular shape amidships, which may either be an opening or a structure. Additional photographs (2-11). The heavily rusted vessel was seen in 2004. (12)
