BROOMSTICKS AND BUBBLEWRAP: BLOWING UP A 100 YEAR OLD TORPEDO
Description
An estimated 40,000 wrecks of ships and submarines lie in the waters surrounding Britain. One of the responsibilities of minesweeper vessels like HMS Blyth is to find unexploded ordnance contained within the wrecks – and to make it safe. The crew on HMS Blyth use explosives to dispose of a 100 year old torpedo which poses a risk to fishermen, divers and sailors.
