For a few milliseconds I thought it was Bilbo's polytunnel.

Gert big Dutch schuyt with leeboards ?

I do like the way that the oak is being pickled by soaking in seawater.

 

[Biggles Wader]

Building a trunk road?

When I took the picture I couldn't work it out at all.

Here's a clue . "It's a dead end saintly place on the East Coast UK"

 

[Cantata]

I suspect it's St.Osyth, although I've only been there with the tide in.

 

[johnalison]

New trials for the production of bog oak. I also presume St Osyth, though I don't know it well.

 

[pvb]

If it's St Osyth Boatyard, are the tree trunks placed there to try to stabilise the mud against tidal erosion?

 

[LONG_KEELER]

You are all correct, St Osyth it is.

Definitely a tick box East Coast sail. Water not a lot, and not about for very long. Time
to tie up, walk round the abbey and perhaps a coffee. Interesting place.

Yes. The mystery of the tied up logs. Just to the right of the logs , is a staging for sailing
barge EDME . Still engine-less I think. Apparently, they use the oak for repairs as and when required. As Sarabande mentioned, kept in salt water for reasons that wooden
shipwrights know about. I took the pictures a while ago and expect they are all used up by now.
