Resting on the shingle of Selsey beach is a clinker-built beach punt of some 15ft, seen from close to the starboard side. There is a set of thole pins on the starboard gunwale but none in place on the port side, and the forward thwart on which the seine-netting fisherman might sit while using the long sweeps stowed on the thwarts on the port side is obscured by these sweeps. The aft end of a short, square-section bowsprit housed to the port side of the stemhead is secured to a light cross-member fixed to the gunwale. There is no other visible evidence of this boat having been used under sail, as some local small boats of similar shape were, for crabbing or prawning. These beach punts, as typified by the 'Molly' shown in negative P75410, carried a long-boomed gaff mainsail and a jib on a short bowsprit, as shown in this negative.
