On 22 January 1941, the British cargo steamship Meriones accidentally ran aground on Haisborough Sands directly atop the 1932 wreck of the Monte Nevoso. While stranded, German aircraft launched twenty-three bombing attacks against the easy target. The Cromer lifeboat successfully rescued all 101 crewmen before she burned out.
