Sharpness in poor weather can be rather bleak. You found a good spot to film, even if it did leave you exposed. Good to have seen this.

[@ChrisWitts]

Yes, this wind seems to be going on for far too long. Watch out for this Sunday when I am posting another film, shot on Friday of 3 vessels sailing out on tide.

That was a windy day 😮great video Chris 😊

[@ChrisWitts]

Hello Ginny, it certainly was. Even windier for the next film shot on Friday. I am posting that on Sunday afternoon at 14:30.

Lovely videos. Just subscribed. Fertiliser another thing we now import, we could be producing our own.

Hi John, Yes, it comes into Sharpness like it's going out of fashion.

I'm always curious how they unload these frighters and barges. Any chance you could make a little video of that happening on day? Also would lobe to know what all the building are. Obviously the old brick building is an old warehouse.

[@ChrisWitts]

Before Health & Safety it would have been possible to board a ship to film it unloading, sadly today, that is not the case! The old red brick warehouse you see in the film is empty.

[@toolmaker9411]

Hi Chris. What are the main reasons that determine if a ship should be broken up? Some ships sent to the breakers look pretty serviceable to me.

[@ChrisWitts]

Good question of which I don't know the answer!
