Adrift : The Curious Tale of the Lego Lost at Sea

by Tracey Williams

Hardcover

Overview

, In 1997 sixty-two containers fell off the cargo ship Tokio Express after it was hit by a rogue wave off the coast of Cornwall, including one container filled with nearly five million pieces of Lego, much of it sea themed. In the months that followed, beachcombers started to find Lego washed up on beaches across the south west coast. Among the pieces they discovered were octopuses, sea grass, spear guns, life rafts, scuba tanks, cutlasses, flippers and dragons. The pieces are still washing up today.,

Professional Reviews

I thoroughly recommend this book to maritime historians, archaeologists and scientists as a provocative and unusual reminder that the story of humans and the sea is not all about the things that were built for the sea, even if they were shaped into lifejackets and spearguns.
