A small wreck of probable mid-twentieth century date is visible as a structure on aerial photographs of the 1940s onwards in the intertidal zone of the River Teign, on the interfluve between the Hackney and Newton Channels. The boat, which measures up to fifteen metres long and five wide, appears intact but abandoned on aerial photographs of 1946. It is visible as a largely submerged, mud filled wreck by 1977. A single linear structure, probably corresponding with the port-side of the boat, is the only element visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2012. The boat has been recorded to avoid potential confusion with more ancient remains.
