maral.r aground on the beach between seaton sluice and blyth.she went on fire somewhere off berwick. the crew were all taken off and eventually she ran aground here.
cheers steve i knew it was somewhere around mid 80's . i remember they abandoned her and i am sure she drifted for quite a while before eventually grounding. 
she was in amble few weeks before this
i think the night she went on fire she had sailed from berwick and was abandoned somewhere north of amble.
she was in amble was very rusty
c&j marine scrapped this vessel on the beach the owner said it would make him or break him,and he is still going strong.
also rember the nite security guard gettin sacked for stealing the brass portholes.

I think this Job came Back to haunt Colin, Allegedly, rather than move the ballast they buried the ballast deep under the sand. There was a good storm and washed the sand away revealing the ballast. By all accounts the council were not too pleased
