Incredible, love this account! #Legolostatsea #Lego
On the strandline tonight a little Lego life jacket, one of 26,600 lost overboard from the cargo ship Tokio Express on 13th February 1997. Nearly 28 years on, and still turning up. #oceanplastic

We were standing in the sea today, picking plastic out of the water, when this Lego brick from the spill drifted past, finally washed ashore after 28 years at the bottom of the ocean.

Fellow Bluesky Vapour Trails,

off the Tokio Express in 1997, 33,427 black dragons and 514 green. Although many have been found in Cornwall, some drifted much further, washing up on the shores of the Netherlands. Many thanks to Hayley for giving us permission to share her picture. (LegoLostAtSea)

Smartie lid, washed up with seaweed frm the seabed today, is between 53 & 64 years old. Plastic Smartie lids were first introduced in 1960. Early Smartie lids had capital letters & numbers on the reverse, in 1971, were replaced with lower case letters. (LegoLostAtSea)

Plastisphere! Who else is making striking art/visuals at the nexus of plastics and nature, that explores their interaction? #plasticpollution #plastics cc @plasticpieces @MaxLiboiron @LegoLostAtSea @WoollettLisa @driftersproject @anjakrieger @erica_cirino @David_Farrier

Speciale vondst!

Grijze duikers-luchttank gevonden in #Middelkerke
Afkomstig vd #Legospill in '97! Tijdens een storm is Maersk-container met 5 miljoen Legostukken overboord geslagen voor de kust van Cornwall.

Dit is slechts 10de vondst ad #Belgischekust sinds oprichting in 2016!

Yesterday's walk from #Marazion to #Penzance. An upsetting amount of plastic debris all along the beach. Unfortunately I didn't have time to do a #beachclean today. On a happier note I did find a lego flower to add to my little #Legolostatsea collection.

Actually we did find some @LegoLostAtSea on @Inv1744! These pieces would have washed in after the 1990's excavation and were then buried on the wreck for almost 30 years... #rubbishatsea @HE_Maritime @HLFSouthEast @bu_maritimearch @PortsmouthPort #WednesdayWisdom

We're curious to know more about the 1800s shoes and prohibition-era rum found amongst beach litter by the @nationaltrust! And of course more @LegoLostAtSea
