The sea after a storm can sometimes cough up the most interesting objects.
This 12 foot lump of wood was found whilst walking in the beach after a January storm.
The two suggestions of where the wood came from range from a prop that was holding up a yacht in Penryn and that it was part of the Falmouth wharf in the harbour and that it had come from a fire from 2001. The would be in 19 century coming from when the wharf was originally built and apparently it’s a Canadian pine tree with a very nice red about it.
A friend wanted to take it from the beach to his garden but needed a van. I’m not sure if he succeeded it was very heavy probably needed about four people to lift.
One of the great things I’ve lived by the sea is being able to be surprised by what is washed up on the beach
And there’s always another storm.
