SUNKEN DREDGER AT DIEPPE
The morning after the night before.

MV.Senlac in the ramp at Dieppe after a Northerly Gale sank the Bucket Dredger.
Mick Cutler from Dieppe local paper.
Not really Newhaven again, but it shows our much-loved ferry Senlac at Dieppe after a storm that caused the harbour's bucket dredger to turn turtle.
The caption translates as follows: "Dieppe residents discovered the following day that the dredger Dieppe IV had capsized in the harbour."
Thankfully, even in the 1987 hurricane, we didn't lose a vessel, though high winds had previously caused ships to break their moorings.
Does anyone know the year of this event?
