Missing motorbikes
Thirteen BMW motorbikes, several bibles in the South African language Xosa, numerous bags of cat food, packs of disposable nappies, and an Iraqi 50 dinar note - these are a small selection of the variety of items scavenged from Branscombe beach in Devon in January following a nearby shipwreck and since notified to the authorities.
People who recover material from a shipwreck are legally required to report their finds to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. Under the Maritime Shipping Act the MCA has to make this information publicly available, and it has supplied the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ with a spreadsheet showing the peculiar mix of items disgorged by the wrecked MSC Napoli - or rather those items whose recovery has been notified to the MCA.
at the time stated that the beach scavengers had removed 50 BMW motorbikes, which seem to have been the most valuable products on the unfortunate ship. But according to the speadsheet, the MCA has only been told of thirteen motorbikes being recovered.
As to whether large quantities of disposable nappies, medicinal cat food, Xosa bibles and Iraqi currency have also gone missing, that is not known.
