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 11: 0027 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1990 Line 11: 0041 In 1961 this area of foreshore contains seven or eight craft lying bows onto the shore. The inlets around the nearby island contain barge remains which have been recorded as individual sites. Over the next 30 years the surveys show the vessels changing as the area develops. The 1967 photograph shows mooring pontoons made from barges linked with walkways. By 1990 there are still some barge-like vessels lying in what is otherwise a mooring area for small craft. Society for Spritsail Research records a number of vessels in this area (see NMR nos. TQ 76 NW 185-191). These could not, however, be directly linked to the sites on the aerial photographs.
