General view of the fishing boat Molly Rose at Dungeness, photographed on black and white film.

Molly Rose was one of the derelict fishing boats found on Dungeness beach. The FE119 registration letters indicate the boat had been registered in folkstone and had been in use from 1968, possibly up to 2009.

In May 2016, the boat was destroyed by fire after people with cameras decided to throw smoke bombs onto the boat.

Dungeness has no harbour so its fishing vessels were launched from the beach using ropes, winches and bulldozer. The boats, were less than 10 metres in length, had a modified design to allow them to be run up onto the shingle beach on their return.
