A hulk of 20th century date is visible as a structure on aerial photographs of 1945 onwards and on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2012, to the east of Peppersheen Plantation. The vessel is first visible as a recently beached and complete structure on aerial photographs of 1945 and lies perpendicular to the shoreline. The former vessel, which measures approximately 16m long, remains partly visible as a wrecked structure on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2012, where it lies in a stationary position, although in a greatly deteriorated state of condition and largely covered with mud.
