520 8  "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. Writer
       and beachcomber Tracey Williams has always been intrigued 
       by chance finds and the stories and folklore behind them, 
       from shells and sea glass discovered on childhood holidays
       in Cornwall to flints and fossils unearthed in fields. In 
       1997, after finding thousands of pieces of sea-themed Lego
       washed up on beaches in South Devon, she became interested
       in the changing nature of beach combing and began to 
       research the age and origin of many of the man made items 
       she discovered. Her plastic finds have since been 
       described as "a colourful catalogue of our times". She 
       lives in Cornwall in an old house by the sea with her dog 
       Jess, surrounded by piles of books and an ever-growing 
       mound of beach finds." --|cPublisher's description.
