A detail of poetry and sentences forming 'Graveyard of Lost Species', a boat artwork created by by artists and commissioned by Arts Catalyst, at low-tide on the Thames estuary, at Leigh creek, on 10th September 2019, in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, England. The project celebrates the local tradition of wrecking boats on the salt marsh, its decaying memory of what has changed or passed. The boat is the 'Souvenir', a 39-foot Thames 'bawley' (1933) which once served the local fish trade in nearby Southend-on-Sea.
