Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1961 Line 9: 3927 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1967 Line 29: 1200 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1985 Line 12: 191 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1990 Line 11: 038 Photographs show a continually changing situation in this area, with a variety of craft appearing and disappearing. Eight sites have been recorded from those which could be most easily distinquised from survey to survey. These were in the range of 20-40m. In addition there were many smaller craft, for which use/abandonment could not be determined. From 1961 to 1985 the consolidated shore appeared to advance. The 1990 survey clearly shows a dramatic extension with a track, used by cars, overlying the area from which sites have been recorded. This may have covered vessel remains. Society for Spritsail Research records a number of vessels, especially house barges in this area, (see NMR TQ 76 NW nos. 175 - 181). These could not, however, be directly linked to the sites on the aerial photographs.
