Joint Venture A513 Wreath Mystery - a photo on Flickriver

Joint Venture A513 Wreath Mystery

            This object which appears to be a wreath of some sort was discovered washed ashore by my regular photostream contributor David on the sea wall of the tidal  River Blackwater Estuary near Goldhanger in Essex (UK).

The inscription on the object  reads 'Joint Venture A513' and appears to be in the shape of a small motor cruiser yacht or speedboat of some sort.

Was this object dropped into the sea at some location in the world as a  memorial wreath to a vessel and or person[s] that has been lost at sea and has found its way to the United Kingdom?

Perhaps it was a wreath at a funeral and cast out to sea after the ceremony.

Note the crucifix sticking out.

Despite extensive searching I've been unable to find any definitive  data on 'Joint Venture A513' (There is a 'Joint Venture' vessel registered in the United States but I don't think it's linked to this).
