Think this one might have been in Tees Packet in the past, is there more to add?

The Target sank opposite the Graving Dock sometime in the fifties. According to one of the old hands that I worked with,the TCC tried to raise her using the two slag barges Numbers 40 & 41 shown in the photo. Unfortunately they were unsuccessful and professional contractors were brought in. The other barge, shown '39' was a screw pile barge and was in use well into the sixties.
