I think that was a wonderful video, Many times I have stood at Sker whilst fishing and looked out to sea and thought of how horrific it must have been for those poor souls on that terrible night all those years ago, Well done to all of the children involved for retelling such a tragic story in such an original and touching way. Thanks for posting.

@crugee Thanks for the comment - glad you enjoyed it. Why not have a look at some of the other Wreck and Rescue animated stories made by the children on this project such as the Wreck of the Adalbert or the Wreck of the Trevaunance.
