Summary
A member of the public (Mike Hughes) reported the remains of a possible wooden vessel on the shore of Pensarn Beach, Abergele to Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust (CPAT). A preliminary survey of the site was conducted by CPAT during evening low tide on 1 August 2019. Initial observations suggested that the lower portions of wooden vessel were present. Remaining partially submerged, the lower elements of the stern, port and starboard side of the vessel were visible. The bow appeared to be lost or submerged, although elements of a possible bowsprit were visible. The vessel has been tentatively identified as the Endeavour, a wooden sloop lost in 1854. Further survey and dendrochronological/wood identification sampling are recommended.
