(Location: NS c. 44790 73602). Bowling Harbour ship graveyard, no. 17. The intact hull of a steel ship's lifeboat survive immediately W of the knuckle [NS 44798 73602] that is depicted on the 1967 edition of the OS 1:2500 map. The vessel lies roughly E-W (the bow being to the W) and is heeled markedly to port (towards the centre of the harbour). She is of steel construction and measures about 30ft [9.1m] in length; the remains of a possible wooden superstructure are apparent.
This vessel is exposed at High Water.
