The Aberdeen

The Aberdeen is an old fishing boat that once upon a time was going to be restored at a pleasure cruiser aboard. The owners ran out of funds and it has been left to rot in the mudflats of the River Medway ever since.

There is another story, that the fishing vessel was bought up by the breaker’s yard at Bloors Wharf and stripped of metal for the resale value. The hull itself was left to rot, and dutifully has done exactly that for the last 35 years or so. Wild parties used to be held here when the hull was in better condition, and on occasion police had to be called. A local history website suggests that the hull was sold to a local resident who was told to move it on. This was rather an expensive request; his response was to cut holes into it so that it could not be moved.

Whatever, it's a nice scenery, isn't it? See PiP for color!
