Full Description
Photograph of the vessel as uncovered shows her lying at right angles to the shore, south of the South Pier at Lowestoft and west of, and at right angles to, the breakwater. The wreck lies parallel to and immediately north of a set of three timber posts which may be the remains of a groyne, and is clearly seen to lie within the inter-tidal zone. It is therefore clear that the manner of loss was by stranding. (1)
Wreck identified as the LILY OF DEVON and said to have lain for many years on the South Beach, when they were blown up as a hazard to the public. A photograph of a rigging block which was found at the site is shown. (2)
Not charted by United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO). (3)
