 Items from "Napoli" began to make landfall all along the south coast of England as far east as the Isle of Wight.The issue of wrecking or collecting the flotsam from the beach caused much discussion and gained media attention as the locals and the authorities became more concerned at the level of scavenging taking place from Branscombe beach and elsewhere along the coast.Eventually, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency invoked powers under the Merchant Shipping Act 1995.
