Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by DP World London Gateway Port to monitor the removal of an obstruction on the seabed located in the area of Sea Reach No. 1 Buoy (Zone 38), at the eastern limit of the Yantlet Channel (UKHO obstruction no 81149). The watching brief was carried out from the 31st March to the 4th April 2014 on board the self-propelled crane barge Atlantis operated by Herbosch-Kiere. In this report the material archive and records produced during recovery are analysed and synthesised in order to attempt to understand the identity of the wreck; what the remains represent; the cause of sinking and ultimately the formation processes in which the vessel came to be on the seabed. Preliminary research indicates that the large majority of the material recovered belongs to an iron paddle steamer powered by feathering side-wheels and driven by twin grasshopper steam engines, possibly built by a Tyne and Wear shipyard. The vessel is provisionally identified as the iron paddle tug Admiral which sunk off the Nore in February 1872. The variety and exceptional condition of the finds might provide the opportunity to examine the assemblage of a working vessel operating in the Thames during the mid-19th century.
