Two steel barges used to construct a slipway.
Type
Unpowered steel barge.
History
The barges were deliberately placed on the foreshore in 2005 as reinforcement for a boatyard slipway.
Description
The steel barges are largely intact. The deck still have bollards, hold coaming and tow points fitted and the holds are lined with timber dunnage on the floor and battens on the sides.
These are similar in style to the barge Laira Bridge 1.
