Newhaven wreck - 21.6.2014

Newhaven wreck - 21.6.2014
One can now see more of the ship's structure than a week ago, when it was piled high with junk. A local website, papers and ITV all carried photos of the blaze e.g. www.seahavenfm.com/news.php?id=326&cat_id=&p=#ontitle
None of these mentions that the burning was part of the demolition process, that got out of control, as was reported in the Brighton Argus subsequently. There is now a scaffolding gangway on to the hull from the roadside. It looks as though a hole has been cut low in the hull, to stop the ship rising with the tide and dislodging the scaffolding.
