for birds only
The skeletal remains of the timber lighter (dumb barge) "Arthur" used by birds as habitat. The size and sheer presence of this hulk are unmissable (it's much longer than it seems to be here). This dumb (unpowered) barge was owned by the timber importers Bayly’s, formerly on the north side of Hooe Lake, and operated with the aid of their small steam tug Alice. The almost complete framework still exists, though much of the outer planking had already gone or been removed by 1988. - Hooe Lake - Plymouth
