Full Description
A wreck of Post Medieval or Modern date is visible as a structure at TM 27893367 in Walton Creek, Orwell Haven on aerial photographs taken from 1944 onwards. The wreck is 25m in length and appears to be in relatively good condition suggesting that it may not be particularly old. It appears to pivot slightly on the same spot from year to year. It is not visible after 1963, perhaps because it has been moved or destroyed as the port at Felixstowe is being enlarged. (S1) (S2) (S3) (S4)
