Back in October last year I did a small video clip of the shipwreck Jean Stephens that went aground on Reiss beech in January 1958.

At the time I made the clip I said the rest of the ship had decayed and gone, however I was down the beech after 4-30 pm yesterday and the tide was out further that I had seen it before.
Because of the different winds and tides the sand around the Wreck has shifted revealing some of the remains of the front of the ship and even some of the wooden planks that lined the inside are still intact.
Unfortunately I did not have my camera with me, (sods law) but If I go down again I will take some photos.
I would think many local children of that period would have spent a lot of there play time around that wreck and if not able to see it now, may find it as interesting as I do.
