Seaking Chesil beach
After last nights programme on the Seaking I was wondering if any one could help a little here please. The cannon weighing around 30cwt is being lifted from the water on Chesil beach Portland to be placed ashore where it was put on display forty years ago, certainly has to be a unique way of raising an 18th century cannon! The cannon will be on the move again soon as part of a new display and we were hoping that all the folks involved in the original lift might have a bit of a reunion to mark the occasion. Looking at old photographs of those involved i.e. divers, museum representatives etc. there are quite a few survivors thankfully but what of the helicopter crew and may be even the helo itself?
Cheers Grahame
