A demonstration of how not to enter the R.Avon from the Cumberland Basin / Floating Harbour. Difficult to tell, but I think there is a steam tug on the far side of the square-rigged vessel. No doubt they are waiting for the incoming tide to bring enough water depth to sort out the situation, as the ship's bows look firmly embedded in the mud, exposed at low tide. Not my image : Fair Use - discussing ships aground in awkward places.

R. Avon at Chippenham. Taken from near the railway bridge which carried the Calne branch, but before the housing estate was built. Riverside Drive runs along the right hand bank, CAS lived approximately opposite the peak of the left hand bend. (Added a "note" to show the approximate location)
