Purton Hulks 10
Rivet and timber detail from Purton Hulks
The Purton Hulks are river barges deliberately beached along a stretch of the River Severn (Gloucestershire, UK) during the last century. As they've silted up and decayed, exposed to sun, rain, all kinds of weater, the area gives an impression of being a barge graveyard. A flickr search of "Purton Hulks" will show plenty of images of the reamains of the barges.
