Beached wreck on the River Test.
I was on board a Red Funnel Ferry that was waiting to depart its berth at Southampton's Town Quay Ferry Terminal in June 2013 when I spotted, then photographed the abandoned and decaying wreck featured in this image. Unfortunately even though I have carried out a number of Internet searched over the years since, I have never been able to discover her name or history. In more recent times, I have looked across the River Test to where she lay, but she has gone. Whether she was removed by Southampton's Port Authority or rotted away I cannot say.
