(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order designates as restricted areas for the purposes of the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973 two areas in the Goodwin Sands round the sites of what are, or may prove to be, the wrecks of two vessels which are of historical and archaeological importance.

This Order corrects an error in the position of the centres of the sites of historic wrecks to which the Protection of Wrecks (Designation No.1) Order 1981 was intended to relate: that Order is accordingly revoked.
