The barge in all its glory before it sank
One passer-by said: “It looks very sad with just the masts sticking out of the water. I would guess it has just rotted away over the years.”
Natural Resources Wales said it was monitoring the situation at Bute East Dock at Cardiff Bay.
Divers have visited the site to assess the damage and a boom has been put in place to stop diesel pollution.
