Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by the Port of London Authority to conduct in-water archaeological observation and recording for Wreck 5051 (Unknown). This work was undertaken as part of the archaeological mitigation strategy for the DP World London Gateway container terminal development. The wreck is located 1.2 kilometres south-west of Canvey Island, and north of Blyth Sands. It lies 100 metres inside the dredged channel. This report provides a brief overview of previous fieldwork and details the methodology employed in carrying out in-water observation and recording. Recent fieldwork for this project is summarised, and the evidence from the wreck structure and artefacts is discussed. The exposed site is approximately 18 metres long by 4.5 metres wide, and the remains indicate a wooden hulled vessel. Over 180 artefacts were raised from two locations on the wreck. From the southern section, a large volume of flint was recovered, as well as the contents of a locker or chest. The vast majority of finds were located in the north section of the wreck and included wooden tools, a shoe upper and pieces of a boot. From the artefacts recovered, it is thought that the vessel dates to the late 19th century, and could have been a local vessel that traded along the coast.
