The wreck of the Anworth in Lyme bay, which has not yet been identified, despite a bell having been recovered with the name Anworth on it. The problem is that so far no record has been found of an Anworth in the historical records. I videoed it to try and aid in identification.

Well, this wreck is a bit odd. If you watch the video, it appears that the flue and stoking hole on the boiler would have been opposite where the engine would have been. Normally this is away from the engine to minimise the length of piping. In fact is this the main boiler, or is it a donkey? did the ship have an engine and was it in fact a sailing vessel. The mystery thickens. Any ideas, please comment.

Some confusion over the layout of this wreck. At 1:09, the base of the flue is clearly visible. But this would have normally have been on the opposite side of the boiler from the engine. But on the other side of the boiler there is no sign of the engine, nor could there have been. presumably this ship was a small aft engined steamer, with the stocking hole/flue opposite the engine so one man could stoke and control the engine. Who really knows?
