The Wreck

The Wreck
This a shot of the bow section of the wreck of a wooden boat that has been lying in Dell Quay, Hampshire for many years.

I have taken quite a few photos of this wreck previously but have been unable to determine any history of it. Recently I discovered that it had been here since at least 1986 when it was being worked on by a local fisherman. He told people it was a working boat from the Netherlands and that he was going to renovate it. Sadly, it seems that didn't happen. It is moored near the boat yard, and seems to be fairly watertight, but no one knows who owns it or why it is still there. A proper mystery!

Check out the links below for a couple of my earlier photos if you feel like it:

A boat like that would be irresistible. I would have to take a photo too! I compared your other two photos. You can see the very slow deterioration over the years.
