About this image

DescriptionSteve Newby.."Me and my brother James doing the salvage on the fishing boat Sea Lord about 1983, which broke down coming up the river and went back over the bar, dragging its anchor.The crew were rescued off the boat by helicopter at night in a storm.All the crew survived.The wreckage has recently been uncovered on the Cobden beach. When they pulled the boat up the beach with 2 bulldozers they used wire rope,and if it had snapped, half of Greymouth that was watching -would have been cut in half."
