'It’s way better than any fish I’ve caught all week.'
Richard West didn’t expect this on the other end of his line A fisherman made an unlikely discovery while fishing off the Penzance coast – a shark that hasn’t been seen for nearly three decades. Well, kind of. Richard West, a 35-year-old fisherman from Plymouth, found a Lego shark lost at sea in an infamous cargo ship incident 27 years ago. He pulled the tiny toy up while fishing for monkfish, sole and dory in an area 20 miles south of Penzance last Tuesday.
Richard told Lego Lost at Sea: ‘It’s way better than any fish I’ve caught all week.’ A freak wave swept 62 shipping containers into the sea 20 miles off Land’s End, Cornwall. One of these containers was transporting 4,756,940 pieces of Lego, the majority of which was sea-themed. Lego Lost at Sea founder Tracey Williams told Richard that the official Lego inventory showed that 22,200 dark grey Lego sharks and 29,600 light grey ones were in the lost container.
