The camera pans from the cliff top at Mundesley to reveal the coaster' Jonet, aground at low tide on the beach below. There are many shots of the coaster showing her to be fixed firmly into the sand. There are other long views; out to sea showing the rough waves and back to the shoreline. A crawled tractor is seen in the distance laying out an anchor.

The coaster `Jonet' shipwrecked at Mundesley, Norfolk, March, 1969

Background Information

The coaster, Jonet, was on its way from Boston to Rotterdam when it ran aground in fog on Saturday 15th March, 1969. After attempts to refloat her it was discovered that she had been holed and was no longer worth salvaging. The boat was sold for scrap to the Harford Engineering company. It was cut up into sections and these, after being hauled up the beach by tractor, were lifted off the beach by a giant crane mounted on the cliffs.
