' Directed ', not ' Warned '; is that normal ?

Sounds like a sad story for some poor soul.

The military are a bit more direct.

Yes a very sad day for the owner. Wonder why she sunk in Jennycliff?

Can find any reference to the sinking anywhere else IE newspapers, RNLI or Google . Very strange .

Agreed she sank at the time, but that was in the past so I used sunk as a past participle verb.

There is a wreck of a coaster in Jennycliffe if I remember right, wonder if it clobbered that?

Last time I looked you could still see bits of the MV Fylrix at very low water springs. I don't think it is a great hazard now, except for snagging anchors. Full story here:
