On 19 January, the ship was taken under tow by the salvage tug Abeille Bourbon, later joined by Abeille Liberté. Events 1419 - Hundred Years' War: Rouen surrenders to Henry V of England completing his reconquest of Normandy. A salvage tug is a specialized type of Tugboat which is used to rescue or Marine salvage ships which are in distress or in danger of sinking or which have already The Abeille Bourbon is a high seas Salvage Tug, 80 metres long with a tractive power of 200 tonnes a crew of 12 designed by Norwegian Naval architect The Abeille Liberté is a Salvage tug based in Cherbourg, France. It was decided to tow the vessel to the safe haven of Portland Harbour, Dorset some 140 miles distant, the closer ports of Falmouth, Cornwall and Plymouth, Devon being rejected in addition to others in France, although the Falmouth harbour master Captain Mark Sansom said he had confirmed that the Napoli could have been accommodated in Falmouth Bay. Portland Harbour is located beside the Isle of Portland, off Dorset, on the south coast of England. Falmouth (Aberfal is a town Civil parish and Port on the River Fal on the south coast of Cornwall, England, UK. Plymouth ( is a city and unitary authority area on the coast of Devon, England about south west of London. Devon is a large county in the South West of England. The county is also referred to as Devonshire, but that is an entirely unofficial name [7] Adrian Sanders MP for the parliamentary constituency of Torbay has raised questions about why the Napoli had not originally been taken to Falmouth or France. A Member of Parliament, or MP, is a representative elected by the voters to a Parliament. Geography There are three main towns around the bay Torquay in the north Paignton in the centre and Brixham in the south which have become connected [8]

The flotilla proceeded up the English Channel with the Napoli increasing its list and with strong winds forecast refuge was taken in Lyme Bay. Lyme Bay is an area of the English Channel situated in the southwest of England between Torbay in the west and Portland in the east Lyme Bay is described as relatively sheltered from Northwest, west and Southwest winds, common at this time of year. The ship’s deteriorating condition raised doubts as to its ability to withstand the rigours of the journey to Portland. The decision was taken by Robin Middleton, Secretary of State's Representative in Maritime Salvage and Intervention who was leading the MCAs salvage response team, to deliberately beach the ship in Lyme Bay. Mr Middleton said that the environmental sensitivities in the Lyme Bay area were fully assessed before the decision to beach the Napoli was made. He said, "The beaching location was selected based on minimising the impact of any spillage and enabling salvage work to remove the vessel and cargo to take place. The local authorities and environmental groups have been notified and all agencies are working together to ensure that pollution is minimised”. [9] Julian Wardlaw, who spoke for the Environment Group, an umbrella organisation for local green agencies, said Mr Middleton had contacted it and asked where in Lyme Bay was the best place to beach the Napoli. Mr Wardlaw said: "We told them: 'Nowhere in Lyme Bay'. It is too important an environment. ”[10] The chosen beaching location was at Branscombe around 1 mile off the Devon coast, near the coastal town of Sidmouth. Branscombe is a village in the East Devon district of the English County of Devon. Sidmouth (ˈsɪdməθ is a small town on the English Channel Coast in Devon, South West England. [11] This area of the coastline where MSC Napoli was beached is a part of Britain's first natural World Heritage Site, the Jurassic Coast. The coast is defined as the part of the land adjoining or near the Ocean. A UNESCO World Heritage Site is a site (such as a Forest, Mountain, Lake, Desert, Monument, Building, complex The Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage Site on the English Channel coast of southern England. In winter Lyme Bay hosts large numbers of wintering sea birds whilst the sea bed “was habitat for endangered species such as the pink sea fan[12] and sunset cup coral[13]”. [14]

Devon county councillor Stuart Hughes said, "So many questions need to be answered there has got to be a public enquiry”. [15] Brian Greenslade leader of Devon County Council confirmed that the council would be holding a public inquiry into the beaching. The move came amid questions about the decision to take the Napoli to an area of protected World Heritage Site coastline. [16]

Scavenging

After containers from the wreck began washing up at Branscombe, around two hundred people ventured onto the beach to scavenge the flotsam, despite warnings from the police that those failing to notify the Receiver of Wreck of goods salvaged risked fines. Wrecking is the practice of taking valuables from a Shipwreck which has foundered near or close to shore The Receiver of Wreck, a post defined under the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 is an official of the British government whose main task is to process incoming reports [21] Scavenged goods include several BMW R1200RT motorcycles, empty wine casks, nappies, perfume, and car parts.

Perfume is a mixture of fragrant Essential oils and Aroma compounds Fixatives and Solvents used to give the human body animals objects and living [22] After initially tolerating a "salvage" free-for-all, by 23 January the police had branded the activity of scavengers "despicable", closed the beach, and announced that they would use powers not previously used for 100 years in order to force people to return goods they had salvaged without informing the authorities, pointing out that under the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 such actions constituted an offence equivalent to theft. Events 393 - Roman Emperor Theodosius I proclaims his nine year old son Honorius co-emperor [23]

Salvage and clean up operation

Over the course of the new week, from 22 January, an attempt to remove the oil, and other hazardous materials from the Napoli was made. Events 565 - Eutychius is deposed as Patriarch of Constantinople by John Scholasticus. An oil is a substance that is in a viscous Liquid state ( "oily") at ambient temperatures or slightly warmer and is However the oil was very viscous in cold weather, and needed to be warmed up before it could be pumped onto the tugs. Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a Fluid which is being deformed by either Shear stress or Extensional stress. On 23 January 2007 further details of the forthcoming salvage operation of both the ship and its cargo were released. Events 393 - Roman Emperor Theodosius I proclaims his nine year old son Honorius co-emperor Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. The main point of concern being the threat of an oil spill, some seabirds had already been affected and recovered along the Jurassic Coast. For the fictional character see Oil Slick (Transformers. An oil spill is the release of a Liquid Petroleum Hydrocarbon into Seabirds are Birds that have adapted to life within the marine environment

Aside from the main salvage operation of the Napoli, a local salvage firm was appointed and tasked with clearing up the beach and removing the containers and flotsam. Marine salvage is the process of rescuing a ship its cargo and sometimes the crew from peril The earlier scavenging of the washed up containers and cargo created a difference of opinion among many people, some claiming it had made the clean up of the beach harder as wreckers had forced open some sealed containers and sifted through the contents, leaving the unwanted items strewn across the beach. Wrecking is the practice of taking valuables from a Shipwreck which has foundered near or close to shore It was however claimed by others that by removing the flotsam they had in fact contributed to the clean up of Branscombe beach.

Items from the Napoli began to make landfall all along the South coast of England as far east as the Isle of Wight. The Isle of Wight is an English Island and county in the English Channel between three and five miles (8 km from the south coast of the [24]

The issue of wrecking or collecting the flotsam from the beach caused a great deal of discussion and gained much media attention as the locals and the authorities became more and more concerned at the level of scavenging taking place from Branscombe beach and elsewhere along the coast. Eventually, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency invoked powers under the Merchant Shipping Act 1995. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency is a UK Executive agency working to prevent the loss of lives at sea and is responsible for implementing British and International The Receiver of Wreck, a post defined under the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 is an official of the British government whose main task is to process incoming reports The agency said people taking goods would now be asked to deliver the items to the acting receiver of wreck on the beach. The Receiver of Wreck, a post defined under the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 is an official of the British government whose main task is to process incoming reports This effectively meant that no further items could legally be removed from the beach. [25]

Following this announcement, and for safety reasons whilst the beach clean up operation got under way, the Police (Devon and Cornwall Constabulary) together with the support of the National Trust (the owners of the beach) and the coastguard set up road blocks to effectively close the beach. Devon and Cornwall Constabulary is the Home Office Police force responsible for policing the counties of Devon and Cornwall in The National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty, usually known as the National Trust, is a conservation organization in England, Wales At the same time the salvage firm erected fences on the beach to prevent public access.

Breaking up of wreck

On 9 July 2007 the Napoli was successfully refloated,[26] but was immediately re-beached as a three metre gash was found in the vessel's hull. Events 455 - Roman military commander Avitus is proclaimed Emperor of the Western Roman Empire. Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. [27] The decision was made to break the ship up on Branscombe beach, this was attempted using explosives after a previous attempt to use the spring tides failed to break the ship apart. [28] The Napoli remained in one piece having survived two attempts to break the ship in two with the explosives. With it reported that only her deck plates on the main deck were holding the vessel together around the bridge structure of the vessel, two tugs at either end of the ship tried to pull the ship apart. On 20 July 2007 the ship was finally split in two by means of a third explosion.
