  • Cover photo description:
  • Photograph looking at the outline of the timber structure of a Pollaca Brigg on Westward Ho! beach in 2016. The main body is buried by sand and was exposed after recent storms. Detail of the vessels construction shows how the planking was joined to the frames by wooden nails, called trunnels. These swelled as they absorbed water and this shipbuilding technique was used from prehistoric times right up to the end of the eighteenth century. At low tide between Westward Ho! and Northam there is a great expanse of sand. This beach is regularly utilised by walkers, surfers and kite boarders. Beneath this is a layer of clay and fossilised ancient woodlands. At various times, usually following winter storms, decaying ribs and the oak hulls of historic ships can be seen at low tides.
