Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1961 Line 6:2050 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1967 Line 33: 1261 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1985 Line 7: 6385 One of two double-ended barges lying roughly east-west on the edge of the water channel. This is the northernmost of the pair. From the photograph in 1961 it appears to have an open central hold with a covered area at either end. On the 1967 survey there is only one barge in this location which appears to be the southern-most of this pair. This single barge also appears on the 1985 Survey. 1990 survey photograph not available during search. A barge in this approximate location has been named as the Teetotaler. A separate record has been made for this vessel (1).

No visible remains seen during 2002 survey (2).
