'Merganser', built in 1887 as a cutter rigged yacht for Hugh Popham of Hungerford. Later converted to a fishing smack, it is unknown if she continued fishing during the war or was requisitioned.
Only half the boat exists, with the stern half missing, and the interior has been completely converted. It is no longer lived in and appears to be used as a store shed. In poor condition and is basically being held together by the paint.

The 'Meganser' was originally built as a cutter rigged yacht for Hugh Leyborne Popham of Hungerford, and later converted to a fishing smack. It is unknown whether she continued fishing during the war or was requistioned. By 1952 the yacht was registered as a 'vessel used only as a houseboat'.
The survey states that half the boat exists and is being held together only by the paint.
