A boat carcass at Faversham creek (low tide) today - taken from the bike. I was wondering what stories this boat could tell of it's travels.

As a p.s. to Post 812 here, it's been fascinating cycling around the Swale estuary, witnessing the remains of boats and learning of the history of the area.
Seeing the boat carcasses around here, I can't help recalling the excellent 1953 film 'The Long Memory' with John Mills. Some scenes were filmed at Stangate Creek (Turner painted here too), near Iwade. It's well worth viewing - an innocent, wronged man has to make a choice of revenge or regeneration.
More broadly, there's a lot of variety of terrain here (in the Swale region) that we, friends and family have appreciated and enjoyed - the coast, marshes, orchards or into the Kent Downs - all happy cycling 😊

can help me out - was this by chance the ferry with the philosophical ferryman?

MBIFO the Exeter Ship Canal at The Double Locks. (There's also a cathedral and another church behind my bike, but let's ignore them.)
