"Apparently a crash team of croupiers are en route from Las Vegas ... "

His Lairdship won't be too impressed if that was too happen. I imagine that himsel, never slow in these matters, has acquired Blackpool's entire wellie stock and is heading there with a team of his croupiers; no doubt some arrangement with the donkey owner on Blackpool's beach to get the punters over to it is being considered ...

Prohibit all unauthorised salvage.
Allow vessel and contents to break up and become navigation hazards.
Wash hands of matter.

I know we all like a little humour but it would be nice if a serious matter prompted at least one serious response. Any salvage experts?

I think charliespan has a serious point. This current position of stopping all beachcombers and allowing ships to break up and spill flotsam around the coast is not working. It appears to placate middle England who were upset by what happens at the coast, the same people who would complain about mud in the country.

All the wood from last week would have been building the local cottages a couple of hundred years ago, but once the television cameras arrive we will have to put up with boat sinking chunks of timber floating around on the tides.

What better beach cleaners can you get than scavengers, they're free and will take anything.... oooh, shiny thing!!!! me wants shiny thing!

I can't remember a concentration of wrecks like this, I don't even think the hurricane in '87 caused this many shipping problems?

There is another 90 containers floating of the South west, went over board last night. They are insulated so float, full of veg and fruit if you run into one.

Way I see it, they want one of those barges on legs, plant it alongside, with a crane and a bridge to the beach, Then they can all drive home.

 

[sailorman]
