My father thinks it is the stern of the bow section that stood on Alnmouth rocks for years but can't remember the name. Judging by the size , smaller than the Hanseat, it was possibly a fishing boat?

I happened to walk past a day or so ago. Here's what it looks like.
The outline of the stern portion of the hull is also showing through...really not very broad of beam at all. Small trawler or maybe steam pinnace? It'd be good to know more if possible.
I'm now only an annual visitor to your shores and found the forum when looking for the story of the wreck. Excellent stuff - I'll have a proper browse later!
