Hermitage Moorings at low tide - a number of Dutch barges, klipperaak, former light vessels and other historic vessels moored at a pontoon. It is low tide so a broad mud flat is visible between the Wapping wall and the river
Looking upriver from the gangway down to Hermitage Moorings, with the quay wall on the right, the river and the moorings on the left and Tower Bridge in the distance.
Back down to #HermitageMoorings in #Wapping for a day with #MaritimeHeritageTrust, #HistoricEngland #NationalHistoricShips, #SocietyForNauticalResearch and representatives from a number of #HeritageHarbours

Work on #HeritageHarbours picked up similar trends in terms of depredation and a lack of hope.
Combined with an influx of money in some areas that does not reach to those already living there.

Surprisingly common - you'd think once one or two harbours had silted up they'd stop changing the designed water flow...

What may turn out to be a bigger problem is the attrition on suitable harbour infrastructure to support historic vessels. Hence the #HeritageHarbours network:

Literally a massive pile of chain.
Apropos nothing, here is a pile of chain in the Trinity House depot at Harwich. #HeritageHarbours
