THIS EVENT HAS NOW SOLD OUT
Join us for Heritage Open Days 2024!
Blackpool’s coastline has had its fair share of shipwrecks over the last 300 years and maybe even before that. It was not an uncommon thing for Fylde folk to liberate cargo from the stricken vessels before the Coast Guards or Excise Officers could get to them.
Join speaker Barry McCann for this talk as he looks at the notable shipwrecks from 1755 right up to 2008 and how Blackpool and surrounding coastal towns quite often benefited from them.
Organised by Showtown Blackpool.
