A port side view, fine off the bow 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. Most of the bulwarks along the port and starboard broadsides have gone, leaving the remnants at the stern and around the bows. The bowsprit is still in place as is part of the lower mast. An anchor is partially embedded into the sand on the port side. A larger iron anchor is also embedded in the sand at the very top of the beach. In the background, looking west, is Cruther's Point, at the end of Par Beach. To the right are a series of buildings, just above the beach line, with tended fields behind on the slopes of the hill.

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