A commentary on the dispersal of the wreck of the Dunbar Castle
Commentators,
Wynford Vaughan Thomas and Henry Riddell
Many wrecks still remain around the coasts of Britain which are a danger to navigation: and in order to render shipping lanes safe these wrecks are being blown up and dispersed. One of the larger wrecks is the Dunbar Castle lying a few miles off Ramsgate. It is already two-thirds dispersed and today another charge is being fired to reduce the final third. The work is being carried out from one of the wreck dispersal ships of the Royal Navy, H.M.S. Lundy
