Hulks and Foreshore Wrecks - Forder Area
Forder and Sand Acre Bay have been a favourite place for dumping unwanted ships for many years. The area contains a pinnace from a huge WW1 French battleship, a Tamar sailing barge, a pair of schooners and a big barge that no one knows its name or how it got there.
