Local Sand Trivia
Tills svensk text om landet hunnit översättas – här är en engelsk:
Discovering an 200-old boat surface from under the sand is likely not your everyday find if strolling on a beach. But that’s just what two dog walkers came across in Portrush, Northern Ireland.
Storms had shifted the sand to uncover what had been laying in sand for centuries – a fishing vessel from the 19th century.
Archeologist concluded that best method of preserving the boat for future generations is to leave it as found to let the sand once again naturally cover and protect it.
