A long line fishing vessel that washed ashore in the village of Amouli decades ago has been polluting the bay and destroying the coral reef ever since. Finally, the wreck, or what was left of it, was removed from the water this week by a couple of excavators working on the road.

my mum (now in her 50s) was in her teens when it happened. she said there were so many goods in there that they were free to get; things like silverware, plates, dishes, etc.
