| Here are a few pictures of a vessel that ran aground on the Causeway between Sully Island and the mainland on the 31st May 2003. Damage was caused to the propeller shafts, but it was towed into Penarth Marina by Penarth Lifeboat the next morning.
The pictures were taken using the camera on my mobile phone, hence the small size.. |
