Volume Five - The Age of Decline & Crass Stupidity - Where is the final resting place of the pontoon ? . . .

It is now over 40 years since I last had sight of the pontoon so my best guess (Without Prejudice!) where she lays now minus one tapered bow or stern section would be somewhere about . . . . .

The pontoon is probably resting some 250 metres further down the dock in an south-easterly direction. The green line represents the dam location based upon the 1970-1974 OS map. Since that time the area has seen a great deal of change so I thought it appropriate to include some Google Earth maps of the locality.

2013 – Google map superimposed with OS map.
   

2013 – Just a clue - the pointed bit of the pontoon is around here somewhere!

Rest In Peace old friend.
