The wrecks NS47SW 8001 and NS47SW 8002 are presumably two of the fourteen (ranging from fishing boats to leisure craft and Admiralty tenders) that are noted as comprising the ship graveyard within the basin at the entrance to Bowling Harbour. Ship breaking may have been carried out within the basin, and operations to reopen the Forth and Clyde Canal ('Millennium Link') pose the threat of clearance.

Vertical air photography: FCC 7343/45/564-5, flown 9 June 1975.
