Beached
Beached
FD Clarain is an old fishing boat that fished out of Fleetwood Docks. Due to fishing quotas being imposed on many of the owners of vessels this together with several other fishing boats were stripped of all their gear and the intentionally beached on a high flood tide on the River Wyre estuary. If you look closely to the left side of the image you can see parts of Fleetwood docks buildings, a sad end to boats that made the town of Fleetwood famous for fish. With the death of these boats it signalled the end for Fleetwood fish.
