Duncan - Day 4

17/08/09

Today I took part in a ship survey at Warsash in Hamble, Southampton. The wreck was on the shore near a pontoon and yacht club. The ship had already been surveyed in 2001, so this would be a survey to monitor any changes and whether the wreck had need or potential for excavation. It was very muddy round the wreck and if you werent careful of your step, you'd soon find yourself sinking. This made the surveying a bit more of a challenge. I helped to set the baseline and also learnt about off set measurements. It was a great day out and my first ship survey.
