Boy discovers octopus figurine that fell from cargo ship along with 5m other Lego pieces during storm
The octopus is one of nearly 5m Lego pieces that fell into the sea in 1997 when a storm hit a cargo ship 20 miles off Land’s End,. While 352,000 pairs of flippers, 97,500 scuba tanks, and 92,400 swords went overboard, the octopuses are considered the most prized finds as only 4,200 were onboard.
The Cornish teenager made the octopus discovery on a beach in Marazion on one of his regular trips with his parents. His father, Vytautas, 36, told the PA Media news agency: “We’ve been looking for that octopus for two years, it’s not easy to find. We were not expecting to find it at all because it’s very rare.”Liutauras Cemolonskas, centre, with his father, Vytautas, and mother, Edita on the beach at Marazion with St Michael’s Mount in the background.
