| Cliff Fall |
Close to the 'Unknown-Stone Blocks', there's another cargo that appears to be cast iron railings. They are heavily encrusted, and initially, we mistook them for a stack of cannons until we cracked one open and discovered what It was.
A bit of detective work by Magnum has probably revealed why the cargo is there.
Portland stone being shipped down the coast to London was unloaded then scrap 'bollards' or anything with some weight to it ,was used as ballast on the return trip.
See the information board picture below.
Quite what ship It may have been is another story...
A huge cliff collapse happened when we were there!!!
