Hundreds of Victorian-era shoes have mysteriously washed up on Welsh beaches, fuelling speculation about a long-lost ghost ship. Volunteers from the Beach Academy discovered the black leather hobnailed boots during a rockpool restoration project on Ogmore By Sea Beach in the Vale of Glamorgan, south Wales.
A total of 437 have been found across four beaches, including Llantwit Major, with 200 unearthed in one small area at Ogmore this week. Experts suggest they date back to the 19th century and likely originated from a shipwreck near Tusker Rock, a hazardous reef visible only at low tide.
