A very close view of an amidships break in the hull of an abandoned wooden hulled spritsail barge in Whitewall Creek, Frindsbury, Kent. The photographer has deliberately picked out this part of a wreck to show the construction of the side planking and the bulwark rail, which increases from two to four strakes of planking, all tied in with iron spikes.
