Summary
The wreck of a 19th century boat has been revealed by high tides several times over the 20th century. There are records of at least two other 19th century wrecks along this coast (NHER 22884 and NHER 41608). It is unclear whether these are three or more wrecks or the same wreck recorded in different locations. One of the wrecks is the 19th century Vigo, a coal coaster which sunk off Hemsby beach killing all its crew.
