Not traditional sea coal this is from one of the Sefton Coast’s famous shipwrecks – ‘Bradda’ a steam cargo ship carrying a shipment of coal to Ireland which ran aground in 1936 during bad weather. Despite the attempts of the Manx Captain and crew alerting other shipping to their predicament they were washed to sea when the vessel listed and there was only one survivor.
