Does anyone know what happened to the boat at New Brighton? Is it the same one that was beached a few days ago (possibly careening)?

I saw it last week on the beach couple of fellas doing some repairs but was speaking to someone who lives there & said the waves were strong & they just smashed the boat up.The people from the Black Pearl were offered anything they could salvage from it

From a marine website that I use, a summary:-

Old wooden boat, got caught in lock gate at Widnes
but thought to be OK. Got out as far as Bar when leak
became serious. Assisted to beach on Taylors Bank for
temp. repair then back into river - beached close to
Black Pearl but suffered serious damage - broke up
and is a total loss. Parts given to Black Pearl.
Nobody hurt. A person who looked at wreckage reported
a fair amount of rot in wood.
