On May 22nd 2003 (now commonly refered to as '522'), Canvey Islands 'Statue of Liberty' at the Point was destroyed in an act of unwanten selfishness. Known to the residents of Canvey Island simply as 'The Concrete Barge', The FCB18 (Ferro Concrete Barge Type 18) was a local landmark where the local kids played and probably experimented with mind enhancing substances and moonied the adjacent drinking establishment.
Apparently David Blaine was once stranded on the Barge when the tide came in and went without food & water for 6 hours until he paddled to the shore.. This was his introduction to a life of doing stuff on telly. 

It's a well know er, fact that the Concrete Barge single handedly won WW2 for us and was sacrificed to save the Sea wall during the Canvey Floods. She was repaid by being demolished as part of a cleaning up of unwanted structures on the water side of the sea wall. Hopefully the job will be completed soon and the adjacent eyesore will be demolished too.

Local rumour has it that on the 22nd of every month a ghostly vision of the Barge is seen hovering towards the Yatched club, perhaps trying to give a clue to her murder?

You are bidding for an 'artists' (I use the word loosly) impression of what could be seen if there was anywhere left to take mind enhancing substancies except alchohol if you looked out over the Sea Wall at the Point on a cold dark evening. The winner will recieve the image in 'jpg' format via email.
