A battered boat which sank in Poole Harbour on Monday night (16) has been recovered.
The Channel Chieftain IV was raised by giant cranes today (THUR 19) during the 5am low tide.
The 94-tonne vessel was towed by the Poole Harbour Commissioners’ tugboat, the Herbert Ballam, to Sunseeker’s quayside hoist, where it was lifted on to a 500-tonne capacity barge.
The wreck has been transported upstream where it will be broken up.
