Harvester of Sorrow
The Solway Harvester was a scallop dredger that sank off the coast of the Isle of Man in heavy storms on the 11th January 2000 with the loss of her entire crew of seven. It received much media coverage at the time but has since slipt from the public conscience in the decade since.
She was salvaged and the crew repatriated to their Scottish home in an operation funded by the Isle of Man Government in June 2000 after the UK Government refused to pay.
The damaged ship has remained in Douglas Harbour since then; neglected and ignored.
