Local man, Arran Cheetham captured stunning pictures over the weekend of the Star of Hope.
The Star of Hope was a German barque that was carrying cotton from Wilmington, North Carolina, to Liverpool in 1883. However, the ship foundered following a Force 10 gale in the Mersey approaches. Located off the coast of Ainsdale, the wreck is largely hidden by shifting sandbanks but can be exposed at low water.
