Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Protection of Wrecks (Designation No. 2) Order 1984 by redefining the centre of the site of an historic wreck in Poole Bay near Poole, Dorset and by increasing the restricted area to one of 75 (instead of 50) metres of site. The amendment is made in order to include in the restricted area an additional part of the wreck recently discovered just outside the one originally designated. No part of the restricted area lies above high water mark of ordinary spring tides.
