Grounded ship stripped
NZPA Hartland The wreckers of north Devon, with a centuries-old tradition of looting stranded ships, have struck again. About 200 swarmed aboard the 960-ton Panamanian cargo ship Johanna after it hit rocks off Hartland Point near the mouth of the Bristol
Channel, and stripped it of everything moveable - including the Christmas tree. A Dutchman, Adrisan Broekmaulen, aged 37, was in tears when he returned to the vessel he had been master of for two years. The crew had been taken off when it ran aground.
