The continental shelf, I think, is pretty narrow in Biscay though (which is what makes it rough. Well, that and being a lee shore to 3000M of ocean). Jolly expensive and difficult business though, salvaging ships, notwithstanding the Mary Ellen Carter. Steve |

I suppose it will take some time to sort everything out. It certainly is a shame to lose such a beautiful brigantine but at least there were no lives lost. Charley Noble |
