What is recorded here
Wreck of 'Fly' a Ballast Barge built in Devon in 1899 is shown and named in a reusable Geograph picture. The saved point is the picture's recorded map point.
The *Fly* was a ballast barge built in Devon in 1899; it was lost in 1914 after running aground near the Humber Estuary. No lives were lost, and it carried no significant cargo, but its wreck is notable as a well-documented example of a specialist coastal vessel from the early 20th century.
