UXO Brought Ashore By Dredger

Selsey, United Kingdom The crew of dredging vessel 'Arco Dee' made an unusual discovery while off-loading their vessel in Shoreham Harbor - a UXO. The Captain of the dredger called the Coastguard to report the find. A response team from the Littlehampton coastguard rescue squad was dispatched to the scene along with the Sussex Police.

Since the item was military ordnance, the Royal Navy Southern Diving Group was called to respond. The UXO was identified by the Royal navy team as a 3-inch WWII era British shell. The team successfully disposed of the ordnance item without incident.
