Athena B


It was back in January 1980 that a Greek cargo ship, the Athena B, ran aground on the beach close to the Aquarium Station, narrowly missing the Palace Pier. I was working in Brighton and got down to the beach in my lunch hour. This picture was a 35mm slide. The ship remained a tourist attraction for some time but all we have left now is the anchor as a monument on the sea front.
