You don't own a boat, a boat owns you.

Dunno folks? looks like the remains of a short admiralty bridge to me but dont know the size of the trees there so cant guess at the scale. Things were modified after hostilities so who knows? If she is a "Dog" then sunk in a pete bog or not, dont know if we can save that one

A boat is a hole in the water surrounded by wood, into which one throws money

Of course it could be a strange conversion of a "B". If thats her nose sticking out the profile fits better as Dogs where rather distinctive. Best way to find out would be low tide and a dozen cans of expanding foam. Lets hope theres one more D out there though! somebody find me a complete one in a creek please

jimmy p, judging by the number of previously unknown boats that have recently come to light I am sure somewhere there will still be a complete and hopefully floating "Dog" boat just waiting for you and johnk. Regards.

Hi,
I have had this reply regarding the 'Salhouse wreak'
Regarding the wreck at Salhouse, I was always lead to believe it was of WW1 vintage. I have recently been in touch with a chap from Salhouse who reckons she is a WW1 torpedo towing boat, was converted to a private yacht between the wars and was sunk during WW11 to prevent seaplanes landing. By the end of hostilities she was beyond economical repair and was towed to where she now lays to end her days. He says that allegedly when she sunk she had a grand piano on board.
has anyone got a picture of such a craft or info on types so we can compare what is left?
Thanks, Clive..

The first torpedoes were simply towed across the bows of the enemy vessel.It would ram the rope and drag the torpedo against its hull..Only refrence I can find is that they were 'small fast boats'.

When a lad I used to canoe on Salhouse Broad. That was in the 50s and the wreck you are talking about was there then. I don't think a D boat would have got into that state in such a short time. I was lead to believe it was WW1.
