Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1961 line 9: 3939 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1967 Line 30: 1111 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1985 Line 11: 0037 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1990 Line 10: 0018, site photographs (1,2). These four surveys show two barges just to the north of a structure (outfall or similar) in the south west of Otterham Creek. On the 1961 survey this one appears as a dark feature in the mud which was only verified as a vessel through becoming more distinct on the later surveys. It has presumably been cleared by a reduction in the depth of mud. Lying roughly north-east - south-west it has very sharp bow and stern without the box outline of many barges on the aerial photographs.
