Severn Trows

Larger sizes - Comment at flickr.com

Photoblog: 19 Jul 2007

I don't know if these really count as Severn Trows. The original Severn Trows were, I'm told, old wooden boats filled with stones and sunk on the banks of the Severn Estuary to stabilise them -- these days the same job is done by stacks of wire cages filled with rocks. I asume these barges were also run aground here deliberately, on the narrow bank that separates the river from the last mile or so of the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal. Of course, for all I know, they may have been involved in the incident that caused the collapse of the Severn Railway Bridge.
