The vessel “LAGIK” stranded at Port Sutton Bridge

Above: The vessel “LAGIK” stranded at Port Sutton Bridge at the turn of the tide on Wednesday 13th December, 2000. She broke her back when the tide went out and blocked the river for many weeks. There was concern that should there be an extra high tide, or storms , the village would be flooded.

The vessel Lagik salvaged

Above: Heavy lifting and cutting equipment was shipped in from the continent, and the “LAGIK” was gradually dismantled and shipped out. The incident attracted many visitors to Sutton Bridge. The Port reopened about 9 weeks later.
