Not one, not two, but three undersea cables cut in Jersey
- contingencies 10y agoSurely they have some kind of "don't anchor here" standard in nautical charts? I assume it must have been pretty close to the shore if the runs were converged to the point where a single anchor could break all three simultaneously.
- dx034 10y agoFrom BBC: > Master Pilot Peter Moore said the boat, believed to be the King Arthur, anchored north of Alderney yesterday evening.. He says there are several undersea cables marked on the charts in that area with clear instructions not to fish or drop anchor. So they are on maps and the crew of the ship should've known that.
