Merseyside County Museum (Maritime History Department)
Date
October-November 1978
Description
The area to the east of the entrances to the St. Helens Canal and Widnes dock had been subject to erosion over a long period and a number of derelict flats have been dumped there both as protection and as a means of quick disposal. Amongst these hulks are the remains of the Mersey flats John and William (1878) and Eustace Carey (1905). The survey undertaken in 1978 made a plan of the disposition of the flat remains and a detailed survey of the frames and bottom planking of the Eustace Carey.
