shipwreck, invisible
Little is known about this Landing Craft lying about two miles south south west of the cliff of White Nothe, just east of Weymouth . From the size of the wreck it is probable that she was a LCM (landing craft mechanised) from the Second World War. These were built on mass in preparation for the D-day landings in Normandy. They were about 50 feet long with a beam of 14 feet, they could carry small tanks or large trucks weighing up to 30 tons.
