Located in intertidal zone
The hulk of a propeller-driven wooden vessel lies partly submerged in gravel at the HWM. The base and some of the side ribs survive, in a very decayed state; the upper part of the structure has gone. The remains of internal metal fittings, together with iron nails and rivets in the vessel's timbers survive but are very corroded. The vessel is 20m long and c.9m wide.
