The container ship "MSC Napoli" was run aground just off the coast at Branscombe, quite close to where we live. She was holed near the Lizard, and was on the way to Portland for the salvage operation when her condition deteriorated and the decision was made to ground her near Branscombe to avoid her sinking in deep water. Some of the containers were lost overboard, and are now being washed up on the beaches - most of them ripped apart and the contents strewn along the shore line.
