On the 1967 survey this barge has been positioned against the shore and overlies two of the earlier barges. It is double-ended and decked with no apparent opening to the hold. By 1985 a new wharf has been constructed. A barge with open hold is lying in this position but does not appear on the 1990 survey. The Society for Spritsail Barge Research record a number of barges in this location and note some as being built into the wharf NMR nos.TQ 86 NW 99 and TQ 86 NW 101 - TQ 86 NW 115 inclusive.
