WAS IT BANK-SY?: Graffiti artist targets boat stuck on riverbank near Burton Joyce

A boat which has been stuck on the bank of the River Trent between Burton Joyce and Stoke Bardolph for weeks has been targeted by a graffiti artist.

The vessel, which is believed to have been abandoned by the owner, had previously been seen floating down the River Trent during the recent floods.

It eventually became stuck on a bank in between the two villages and is awaiting removal.

There have been reports of groups of people trying to boarding the vessel, with police officers being called out to take action over over recent weeks.

And now the vessel has been covered in graffiti, with a large cartoon fish with speech bubble declaring ‘I’m an emotional wreck’, along with an artist’s tag.

It’s not known if if or when the boat will be removed from the River Trent.

Gedling Eye has contacted the Canal and River Trust for the East Midlands for a comment about its removal.
