(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order designates as a restricted area for the purposes of the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973 an area in the Swash Channel, Poole Harbour. This area is thought to be the wreck site of a vessel which the Secretary of State is satisfied ought to be protected, as a matter of immediate urgency, from unauthorised interference on account of its historical and archaeological importance.
