Swan song - a photo on Flickriver

Swan song

            The "Alpha", a wooden minesweeper built in 1938 in Brightlingsea, Essex. Later converted into a fishing boat she was finally towed up the River Deben with hopes of "restoration". This image was taken during the second "lock-down" of October 2020, when she was leaking and submerged at high tide. She has been towed away, but is likely to join so many old boats that slowly melt into the river bed :-)
