(Location: NS c. 44700 73635). Bowling Harbour ship graveyard, no. 12. The disarticulated remains of a wooden vessel of heavy-framed construction and measuring about 50ft [15.2m] in length lie end-on to the shore. The deck is missing, and the stern lies towards the shore; the stern gland and frame are clearly visible and the vessel has clearly split along the keel. A prominent steel companionway (forward) and a possible wheelhouse (aft) survive.
This vessel forms a compact group with nos. (9), (10) and (11); all lie upright and are visible at High Water.
