This is the slightly smaller of the pair. From the photograph in 1961 it appears to have an open central hold with a covered area at either end. In the 1967 survey there is only one barge in this location, which appears to be this one .This single barge also appears on the 1985 Survey. The 1990 survey photograph not available during search. A barge in this approximate location has been named as the Teetotaler. A separate record has been made for this vessel (1).

No visible remains seen during 2002 survey (2).
