            That`s the mystery, Rick……..They don`t ship anything!
             
            So I`m keeping a close eye on them!……….Bob

              Sillanpaa is a company that supplies armourstone for sea defences.
              Hence the big hoppers.

                Thank you Paul……..You`re a bottomless pit of knowledge!
                 
                Did you know, there`s wreck out to sea……..With a cargo of marble…destined for St Paul`s (no relation?) cathedral in Christopher Wren`s era……..,,and for some strange reason, all the cannons and muskets were found all loaded and ready to fire!
                 
                I suppose you did!………..Bob…….lol

                    The wreck is known as The Bronze Bell Wreck after a bell that came from the area, it is thought that the ship was a French trader (hence all the guns)
                    Whilst the ship wreck is from the right period its doubtful that the cargo was for St Pauls….wrong area and wrong stone.
