A washed up vessel from Aberporth led to Tywyn coastguard’s first call out from their new station.

Tywyn Coastguard Rescue Team said on Sunday, 30 March, that a vessel had washed up south of Neptune.

It was secured ready for recovery on Monday.

The coastguard warned people not to tamper with the vessel, which also carried a warning from Qinetiq, Aberporth.

The vessel is thought to be connected to military testing in Cardigan Bay.
