Mapping the past seeing the Present and predicting the future - Paul Willson
The action of time and the tides have and continue to effect the Purton Hulks. Mapping the site as a whole helps us to understand how this process continues and indeed demonstrates that the hulks are still influencing the development of the Purton shore line.
To cover what is an extensive site with limited scope for lines of sight we have made use of technology using both the GPS (American) and Glonass (Russian) satellite systems. Recording the outlines of the hulks in this manner helps determine their position and alignment relative to each other. This shows where and if the vessels have moved. Showing that Purton is very much an active sight, not only of interest but still performing an important role in protecting the Gloucester to Sharpness Ship Canal.More
