Boat Runs Aground In East Sussex As Coastguard Attempts To Intervene

A vessel came aground in Sussex yesterday (Monday).

Cape Michelle was spotted between Birling Gap and Cuckmere Haven, having become effectively beached and too heavy to haul back into deep enough waters.

HM Coastguard were soon made aware of the situations, with all passengers accounted for.

A statement from Wealden District Council subsequently confirmed:

"We are aware of an ongoing incident after a vessel ran aground in shallow waters between Cuckmere Haven and Birling Gap.

"We are liaising with HM Coastguard which is dealing with the incident. People are being urged to stay away from the boat and the area."

More Radio has approached the Coastguard for further comment.
