near to Old Hunstanton, Norfolk, Great Britain

Wreck of the Sheraton

The following information is from the Nautical Archaeological Society's website on the wreck:
"The Steam Trawler Sheraton was built in 1907 for fishing and was later used for boom defence work during World War I and served as a patrol vessel in WWII, for which she was fitted with a six pounder gun. During a gale in 1947 she broke free of her mooring and drifted onto the beach at Hunstanton. Much of the Sheraton was salvaged but the bottom of the hull remains on the beach in the intertidal zone."
