| Additional Notes |
1 of 12+ grounded bodies at Gurnard, West Cowes, Isle of Wight. There since 1908/1918, conceivably originally in connection with an adjacent gun emplacement. This one is one of two identical to North London Railway type and was a follow-on order (1860s). 06/26: confirmed still in situ. |
