A hulk of modern date is visible as a wrecked structure on aerial photographs of 1992 and on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken from 2002 onwards, along the western bank of the Exe Estuary. It is unclear whether the vessel is visible as a recently abandoned structure on aerial photographs of 1978, although the outline of the hulk is clearly visible by 1992, although is largely overgrown with marshland vegetation. The former vessel is northeast to southwest aligned, measures approximately 4m in length by 1.5m in width and remains largely covered with vegetation on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2012.
