I ALSO HAVE TAKEN SEVERAL PICTURES OF THESE WRECKS.

I FIND THEM INTERESTING, IT SEEMS A SHAME FOR THEM TO BE LEFT TO ROT IN THIS WAY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THEM

The bow of the boat sunk into the marsh near our joanne was a twin engine passenger boat St keyne.Was damaged in 1997 when it was moored in the ferry dock on christmas eve ,it blew a gale that night and bounced on the cobles at the top of the dock and did major damage.It was a total loss so they removed all the good parts and towed it to the back of the dock.The travelers who lived on the old power station site burned it days later and removed the scrap. The zegan was burnt next to the morleigh and tudor queen must be one of the other wrecks on the site.

My mistake Alan after asking around the success (which was always blue) was moved from alongside the Clarain by a fella who used to own both that and the North Fleet at the time,he used to live aboard one of them.I believe they both ended up being torched.Two green ones that ended up on there were the Girl Lillian and Florentine.

Alan,the wreck that you describe as being “far away from the main group” is russian dicks old boat Uncle Tom,I think the one alongside the Clarain is the Sucess.
Regards Mick

Hello Allen, i heard that maybe the northfleet could be on the marsh but with so many of the older wooden hulls they are unrecognisable.

Do you have any idea which they could be ? I will be making another trip to the wrecks soon and will focus on the other group which is mainly the wooden hulls.
