Of course, local authorities are warning the public that it is illegal to scavenge the lost cargo.  The photos remind us of two other incidents in recent times. Check out those Flickr slideshows below and you’ll see the similarities.

1. The MSC Napoli

2. The Ice Prince that ironically shed nearly 2,000 tons of wood cargo off of Portland Bill, Dorset, UK just over one year ago
