Dredger picked up explosive within Dover port
The "David Church" whilst operating within Dover harbour picked up what is believed to be an old World War II explosive on July 8, 2012. The Dover Coastguard has been coordinating with the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team from Portsmouth and with the Dover Port Authority, to have the explosive taken to a remote area and detonated. It was the intention of the EOD to detonate the ordnance in a controlled environment in daylight hours. The ordnance was one metre in length with a 30 cm diameter and its fins have rusted off. The coastguard was to be issuing safety broadcasts and warnings to vessels in the area.
