A ship called 'Tokio Express' was hit by a rogue wave on 13 February 1997 that caused her to lose cargo, including one cargo container loaded with 4,800,000 pieces of LEGO. Ever since, LEGO pieces including octopuses, dragons, flippers and flowers have been washing up on beaches.
Beachcomber Tracey Williams has been picking up LEGO along the Cornish coastline ever since and dozens of people have contacted Williams to say they, too, have found parts of the much-loved toy scattered on shores. Here's a map where LEGO washes up.
