Wreck of the steam trawler, "Sheraton"

The steam trawler, "Sheraton", was a steel-bodied ship about 50 feet long, built in 1907. During WW1 it was used in boom defence work and in WW2 it was a patrol vessel. In 1945 it became a target ship and in 1947, while being towed for use as a target hulk, it was blown ashore in a gale at Hunstanton, Norfolk. Some of the superstructure was cut away and the rest was left to the sea. With each passing year it becomes less and less.
