Owners getting older or passing on , cost of repairs etc I guess …. There all in the vicinity of a run down boatyard and mooring on the marsh inlets is a case of burying your anchors in the mud . There’s no charges involved as far as I know

They look like they've been stranded by tide that never came back, or washed onto land by a flood.
Very atmospheric and I dare say some would prefer them to stay where they are as a locally enjoyed feature of the landscape.

nope this is a massive estuary (river dee n/Wales-wirral ) with a very high tidal range up to 10+ mtrs on spring tides the whole marsh is submerged frequently

The first one looks very much like a Vivacity, and probably salvageable, as could be the tri, but with them being so cheap in OK condition, not worth the cost to renovate.
Surprised to hear no mooring fees, that's a killer in the UK now.
