A port quarter view of the abandoned pilot cutter Queen (1855) dried out at the top of Par Beach, St. Martin's, Isles of Scilly. The cutter has been on the beach long enough for the sand to build up on the port beam, partially burying that side of the hull. The rudder has gone, as have the bulwarks along the port and starboard broadsides, leaving the remnants at the stern and around the bows. All hatch covers have gone, and part of the deck planking to the port side of the main hatchway has also been removed (by human or sea action). The bowsprit is still in place. An anchor is partially embedded into the sand on the port side. In the background, looking east is the headland at the end of Par Beach and, to the right English Island, Nornour Island, and Great Ganilly Island.

The Queen was a 47ft pilot cutter owned by John Bansfield, St. Mary's. It was condemned and put ashore on 27 June 1889.
