It was extended twice, and the last extension ended at Turf Lock in 1829. The Canal is 5.3 miles long from Exeter Basin to the Pier Head, ie the junction below Turf Lock, where the canal meets the River Exe. Leaving the Canal Basin you come across the King's Arms flood gates and junction with the Exe. 1.5 miles southwards is Lock No. 1 - "Double Lock", so called because in earlier days more than one vessel could use the lock together, thereby saving water. There were originally three locks here. There is a pub with the same name alongside the lock. Just under a mile from "Double Lock" you arrive at the two Countess Wear bridges on the inner Exeter Ring Road (A379). The first is a lifting bridge in Dutch style, while the second one is a swing bridge. It is heavily used by local road traffic all year round. The South West Water Treatment plant is situated on the east side of the Canal, and it was here that the "Countess Wear" arrived and departed. There are a couple of vessels currently alongside, one of which is an old Finnish patrol boat and the other, a wooden fishing boat, is sadly sitting on the bottom of the canal Just over three and a half miles from Exeter you come to Topsham Junction and Lock (currently derelict) which enters the Exe opposite the village of Topsham, and there is a swing bridge to navigate past as you continue downstream. Now 5 miles from Exeter you pass lay-by moorings for various craft and then enter Turf Lock (with the pub alongside). From here it is tidal and the vessel eases out to the Pier Head marker and joins the River Exe coming in from the East side between West Mud and the Greenland Bank to journey downstream to the Exmouth Bar. The lock sizes are 37.2m (122 feet) length overall, with a maximum beam of 8.0m (26 feet 3 inches). Maximum draught in fresh water is 3m (9 feet 10 inches). Headroom (for low air draught vessels!!) is 10m (32 feet 10 inches) In the latter years small European vessel, including tankers, brought timber, coal and oil for the local depot. In the 1970s there were the Danish registered "Dapa" and the Dutch registered "Jenjo". Tankers like the British registered "Ben Johnson" and "Esso Jersey" (the largest vessel to navigate the Canal) also come to mind. "Esso Jersey" was the last commercial vessel to leave Exeter wharves in 1972. In late December 1998 the last vessel to be on a regular "service", the small 237 gt effluent tanker "Countess Wear", finished due to new European edicts and was eventually sold abroad. The vessel was built as the "S.W.2" in May 1963 at the J.Bolson & Son Ltd., Shipyard, Poole, Dorset as yard number 541, for South West Water and became the "Countess Wear" in 1975. 37.5m loa, with a beam of 7.47m and a maximum sea water draught of 3.08m. Twice a week the vessel took treated effluent from the South West Water Treatment plant below Countess Wear Bridge, past Exmouth, to a point about 5 miles out to sea which was the nominated dumping ground. The vessel was registered in the port of Exeter. One other working coaster today still has the same port of registry and she is the 838gt cement carrier "Ronez". "Countess Wear" became the "Countess" in August 1999, and her current wherabouts are unknown. One of the last vessels also to sail was the "Beatrice Lang" which left Turf Lock at 0845 on the 16th February 1990. Vessels that were once part of the Exeter Maritime Museum also sailed away along the Canal to Turf Lock and some were put on board the Lapthorn coaster, the "Hoo Beech" which tied up at Topsham Quay in March 1997. Note also in the lower Exe on the Starcross side the hulk of the 1916 Dutch built vessel "South Coaster" that went aground entering the Exe in 1943 on a voyage from Marsden to Exmouth with a cargo of coal. The vessel was later beached and abandoned in her present position. She was built as the "Ostvoorne". Exeter City Council are the navigation authority for the Exeter Ship Canal.

]]> Thu Jan 1 1970 60 MSC NAPOLI aground off Weston-Branscombe January 2007 to 30th July 2009 http://teignmouthshipping.fotopic.net/c1734140.html The MSC NAPOLI was built as a container vessel in 1991 at the Samsung Shipyard, Geoje, as Yard Number 1082. The vessel was on a voyage from Antwerp to Sines with containers when in bad weather, in the Western Approaches, she got into difficulties. Under tow she was turned round and towed eastwards. The ultimate decision was to beach her at Branscombe, between Sidmouth and Lyme Regis, in Lyme Bay, due to cracks appearing in the hull. The stricken vessel could be seen from the top of the Weston Cliffs, just east of Sidmouth. Facts and figures: GT 53409 DWT 62277 draught 13.52m. LOA 275.66m beam 38.1m. She had a maximum intake of 4734 teus. In 1991 she was built as the CGM Normandie, being renamed Nedlloyd Normandie in 1995, and CMA CGA Normandie in 2001. In 2004 the vessel took the name MSC Napoli, under the GBI flag, with port of registry as London. All were time charter names with the various companies e.g. CMA CGA, Nedlloyd and then MSC. Her registered owners are Metvale (BVI), and managers Zodiac Maritime Agencies. A few containers dropped over the side in bad weather and were washed up on the shoreline close to Branscombe, as the marine authorities contined to get the containers off one by one on to a flat barge moored alongside. Eventually all the fuel oil and slops were recovered and the containers all taken away to Portland. The vessel was split in two in July 2007 with charges of explosives placed where the cracks were, f'd of the bridge. The f'd part was towed safely away from the aft part and made ready to be removed from Lyme Bay. Tenders were put out for its removal and in August it was towed to the Harland and Wolff Shipyard, in Belfast, for breaking. The aft end, including the accomodation, has slowly been cut up with the scrap steel taken away to Portland by barge. In September salvage operations were suspended until Spring 2009. 2,800 tonnes of aft section have been removed, but the remaining section is heavily constructed, and difficult to dismantle. The engine itself weighs approx 1200 tonnes and there is also approx 3000 tonnes of silt/clay trapped inside the remaining part of the hull adding further weight to the structure. Two flat top barges are now in situ (30-5-2009) and during the summer the remainder of the hull will be cut up and eventually taken away. One of the anchors from the vessel was presented to the people of Branscombe and East Devon by the ship's owners Metvale Ltd. It was unveiled on the 16th July 2008. The FLINTERBAY (NLD) 2474gt/ b 2004 arrived from Rotterdam and moored alongside one of the barges over the stern end remains of the MSC Napoli at Weston at 0700/ 20th June 2009. Discharge of heavy chain was completed mid-morning and the vessel departed for orders, anchoring in Labrador Bay circa 12 noon, same day. The EST (LTV) 996gt/ b 87 arrived from Rotterdam to moor alongside the pontoon barges with some more equipment, on the 28th June, and departed the same day.
