The Sussex coastline can boast to be one of the most wreck-rich
regions in the English Channel. In fact there are over 4,000
recorded wrecks along the coast. Over the years many ships that
have sailed along the Sussex coast have run aground owing to the
fierce currents and shallow sand banks, as treacherous seas appear
from nowhere when the tide or the weather changes. Revealing the
events behind many of the shipwrecks that have occurred along the
Sussex coastline, this book features a wealth of fascinating
stories, from the Indiana's cargo of oranges and lemons that
covered the beach and were retrieved by hungry locals to ships
torpedoed by acts of war, and the recent wreck of the Ice Prince
that spectacularly deposited many tons of timber upon Worthing
beach in January 2008. With personal accounts and many old
engravings and photographs, this book will fascinate locals and
enthusiasts alike.
