Maritime record TQ 97 SE 1042 - Remains of unidentified vessel, visible 1998, used to create sea defence
Summary
Remains of the westernmost and at the landward end of a line of 10 abandoned steel lighters, likely to be of 20th century date, located in the inter-tidal zone immediately north of a patch of shingle. They are recorded in this position from 1972 (but may have been abandoned earlier). All the wrecks stretch in a line running north from the beach between Royal Oak Point to the west and Paddy's Point to the east, and are said to mark the eastern boundary of Minster beach.
