About the Vessel

By the 1960s, the decline of traditional inland water transport left hundreds of small wooden workboats, tenders, and tugs abandoned along canal banks and river estuaries. Often scuttled to avoid disposal costs or simply left to rot, these low-lying hulls quickly filled with silt, floating rubbish, and discarded junk. Today, these half-sunken relics remain a common sight along British canals and tidal rivers, serving as prime targets for atmospheric weathering and scenic detailing.
