Abstract:		 This report presents the results of a survey commissioned by DP World London Gateway Port Limited to record the machinery and ship structure that was recovered during the removal of an obstruction on the seabed located close to the Sea Reach No. 1 Buoy (Zone 38), at the eastern limit of the Yantlet Channel (UKHO obstruction No. 81149) in 2014. Due to the lack of storage and conservation facilities on site during the clearance, a number of potentially diagnostic large objects were retained in order to allow the retained archaeologist to carry out a detailed recording at a later stage. These objects were transported and stored at the facilities of DP World within the London Gateway Development and this report is the result of a detailed digital survey carried out on the 4th and 5th of August by Wessex Archaeology. The clearance operation produced significant amount of the ship’s structure, internal components and small finds, comprising at least the remains of one vessel along with other likely intrusive contemporary and later items. The variety and exceptional condition of the material provides an example of an assemblage belonging to a working vessel operating in the Thames during the mid to late 19th century. The material removed from the seabed as part of this clearance was subject to detailed assessment and identified as having originated from an iron paddle steamer powered by feathering side-wheels and driven by twin grasshopper steam engines, possibly built by a Tyne and Wear shipyard.
