The Newshot Island Boat Graveyard: an assemblage of 19th‐century vessels on the Clyde

“…This site is thus an example of how boat graveyards form an important part of the wider maritime landscape, and of how such sites have the potential to add significantly to our understanding of the development of maritime technology. Boat graveyards are a rare and declining resource and, as highlighted by a number of authors (Milne et al ., ; Richards, ; Beattie‐Edwards and Satchell, ; Davies, ; Pett, ), more work is needed to record such sites. They present a number of management challenges.…”

“…In England, reports commissioned by English Heritage (now Historic England) (Davies, ; Pett, ) provided an audit of intertidal hulks and a national resource assessment, leading to a number of recommendations for further work, including regular re‐survey for monitoring purposes, and emphasized the scope for volunteer involvement in such work. As stated by numerous authors, such groups should be viewed both as monuments in their own right and as part of the wider historic landscape (Richards, : 84–117; Beattie‐Edwards and Satchell, , 80–82). Their vulnerability in the intertidal zone to natural processes of erosion and deterioration exacerbates the lack of investigation; they are a fragile and dwindling resource.…”

A Tale of Two Fishing Boat Graveyards

“…, 2015). Much of this work has focused on detailed study of specific vessels or sites (for example, Wood, 1997a; Martin, 1998; 2017; Christie et al ., 2014): however, some projects have emphasized the importance of assemblages of intertidal vessels for the wider understanding of maritime history (Milne et al ., 1998; Parker, 1998; Barnett, 2007; HWTMA, 2008; Beattie‐Edwards and Satchell, 2011) and surveys of boat graveyards in Scotland at Kincardine (Wood, 1997b) and the recently scheduled example at Newshot Island (Graham et al. , 2018) have placed the remains within their historic and landscape context.…”
