Default Anyone for salvage rights?

There have been stories in the past about people salvaging goods from stricken vessels - motorbikes, and just last week timber..

Now the ferry stuck off Blackpool has a cargo which holds more interest to me..anyone up for a salvage trip?

BBC NEWS | England | Lancashire | Ferry sheds thousands of biscuits

He said the first stage of the salvage would be to remove fuel from the ship despite the fuel tanks being intact.

I'm going to have a take a picture of Worthing sea front for you - The wood is still there - Except instead of being strewn along about 2 miles of beach, it is now like a wall of wood about 20 feet high on the beach that goes on for about half a mile.

My mate has a stack of it in his back garden - It's really good stuff - About 20 foot long and 6 inches thick - Ideals for floors and ceilings, decking, well anything really.

He went on a covert operation because the local council are fining anyone that tries to take it £2000 - And they now have a temporary fence and security round along the beach, which has effectviely been closed off.

****s.
