Seven crab fishermen were injured when their boat was blasted out of the water by a suspected Second World War explosive. The mine or bomb exploded under the water, propelling the boat completely out of the sea, before it smashed back down again.The blast, which occurred at 11.20am, wrecked the wheelhouse and ruptured the hull, causing water to flood into the engine room.
Il 23 dicembre a 25 miglia della costa di Cromer la barca “Galwad-Y-Mor”, (13 metri) con a bordo 7 pescatori (2 inglesi e 7 lettoni), è investita dall’esplosione di una bomba risalente alla seconda guerra mondiale. L’ordigno, rimasto incastrato tra le reti esplode a pochi metri dalla superficie, ma devasta e inonda parte dell’imbarcazione e ferisce gravemente i sette marinai. L’equipaggio ferito è stato soccorso dall’offshore Esvagt Njord appartenente al Marine Accident Investigation Branch.
