Hi,
Im new to HG and love the forum, my hobby is photography and I love to go to different places and try and find the history or areas.
Recently I was looking at Google Map and seen something I found a little strange
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Erskine&ie=UTF8&z=17&ll=55.903415,-4.436342&spn=0.00436,0.013561&t=k&om=1
There seems to be a lot of what I thought might be barges or boats, not sure if this been covered in the forum, did a search but found nothing, so I decided to take a wander down and see.
I couldnt get round to the area shown with lots of them in the estuary and the tide was still not out fully but I did see about 4 of them near the slipway shown. They appeared to be large old wooden barges, very bad repair and on the riverbed.
Also I could see one towards the mouth of a river that looked as though it might have been even larger, with metal struts perhaps showing it was once more than one level. Couldnt get close to it. I couldnt see the boat like structure as the tide was still not out fully.
I plan on going back soon with better light and a lower tide.
Just wandering if anyone on here had more information?
I put some photos here and some are selected below.
