In February 1923, the decommissioned Royal Navy scout cruiser HMS Sentinel broke free from her towline in rough seas off Sunderland. Stripped of power, she drifted and stranded hard aground on Whitburn Sands. The spectacular beachfront grounding attracted thousands of weekend sightseers before she was refloated months later for scrapping.
Walk onto Whitburn Sands beach just north of the Seaburn promenade.
