Recollections
I have recollections of seeing a few steel lifeboats on the ground in Center Harbor near the Mount's drydock (50's and 60';s?). prob ably in the 50's. They gradually reduced the number of lifeboats and I think now have one 13' Boston Whaler. These could have been sold and recycled to some other use. Unlikely to me that there would have been a lot of timber herding after 1940 as most timber came down in 1938 and there was not much gas available during WW II.
It would be interesting to know if there is evidence of how/why they sank, and if there is any machinery left aboard, or evidence of machinery such as propeller shaft portals, etc.
