A possible wreck of unknown date is visible as a structure on aerial photographs of 1966, in the intertidal zone on the north bank of the Teign. Neither the prow nor the stern of the possible wreck are visible, being either absent or remaining buried in the estuarine silts. The structure is not visible on earlier or later images available to the survey. This area of Western Quay has been extended and redeveloped for parking and it is therefore unlikely any remains of the structure survive in-situ.
