Note (1) : Whilst I was walking along the foreshore looking for fossils I noticed this "ship" wrecked about a quarter mile away ( a good half mile from the harbour southwards) so I went over to look. To my surprise it was made of concrete. My guess is that it is of WW2 origin and was possibly something for the D Day Landings. Being towed southwards from possibly Newcastle it broke free and was wrecked. I did hear tell that loss of life was involved. I asked a lady in the Church by the Abbey but she had never heard of this wreck even though she had lived there all her life.

Note (2). This coffer held the St Mary Church records and plate until a date in the 18th Century when robbers stole it from the Church and dashed it down the cliffs in a successful effort to break the three locks. All that was found was the empty coffer. The records and church plate had vanished.
