Off the north Wales coast a historic vessel which got into difficulties has now been declared a "wreck" after suffering further damage in stormy weather.
The 100ft tall ship Zebu, which dates back to the 1930s, was towed into the Port of Holyhead on May 13 after suffering "navigational difficulties" off the coast while on a voyage to Bristol for conservation work.
But days later it had been left at a 45 degree angle after drifting onto rocks and the ship had to be abandoned.
Initially, it was hoped that the damage was not as bad as previously feared, but recent stormy weather had caused "further devastating damage" to the ship (alongside a breakwater).
A statement from the owners said: "For the entire day and throughout the night through until Friday morning, tall ship Zebu was subjected to a horrendous pounding from both wind and sea.
