| Summary : Remains of wooden-hulled cargo vessel, probably a barge, which lies exposed in the inter-tidal zone on the Cleethorpes foreshore close SW of another similar wreck (908319), both of which lie east of a small creek or channel. She lies with her bows to the SW with a large pile of stones amidships, possibly cargo or ballast, and measures 28m long by 8m wide. The vessel may be post-medieval or 20th century, being first recorded in 1989. In this location the vessel is most likely to have been lost by stranding. |
