Part of one of the boat wrecks known as the Purton Hulks near Gloucester.


Redundant river craft were beached along the banks of the River Severn between Sharpness and Purton to protect the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal from erosion. Over the years many of the craft have been vandalised or burnt.
