Wharf constructed for WD barge Gog. Gog was towed by WD steam tug Katherine and from 1930 by Diesel tug Katherine II and brought heavy artillery and naval guns direct from Woolwich Arsenal for test and evaluation. See: http://www.canvey.org/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=403
for further information and photographs of barge at Shoeburyness. This wharf at Yantlet Creek was designed to allow the travelling gantry to pass above the barge and lift its contents straight out. See English Heritage report 39-2013. '
