The Purton Hulks Stock Image

The Purton Hulks or Ships` Graveyard is a number of abandoned boats and ships, deliberately beached beside the River Severn near Purton in Gloucestershire, England, to reinforce the river banks. Most were beached in the 1950s and are now in a state of considerable decay. It is a fascinating place and a great place for a strole with your camera, especially with a nice sunset in progress.
