Maritime record TR 07 NE 26 - HOPPER NUMBER 19
Summary
Remains of an English hopper barge stranded approximately 1.25 miles SE of the East Cant Light. This vessel is said to have struck the foundations of the Red Sands Forts in 1952, to the north-east of the present site, but, if this is the case, it is not clear how she came to be in her final position recorded a month after the incident. The remains were dispersed in this position in 1960. Constructed of steel in 1900 in Sudbrook, as a hopper barge she lacked propulsion of her own.
