Slatted Pipe
oxidised copper, 41" long
found at Start Point, Sanday
from the sea
A number of ships have been wrecked at Start Point, a tidal island at the North End of the island. This pipe may have come from the Goldfinch, a British destroyer wrecked during dense fog in 1915. Reputedly there are large quantities of non-ferrous metal littering the seabed from this ship.
