Full Description

Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1961 Line 9: 6574 One of a pair of vessels lying side by side and bows on to the shore, site photographs (1,2). This one appears to be completely decked with a small raised structure just forward of amidships. In 1961 they were not covered by the tide and may have been floating (KCC 1961 Line 10: 2299) This one cannot be seen on the 1967 survey (KCC 1967 Line 29: 1225). It should be noted that the 1967 survey was at higher water and the vessel might have been submerged. Vessel barely visible to the east of 900621, with only some low jagged timbers still visible, as at 2008
