Cream Sea?

[jimmyosram]

This is a shot just beside St Mary's Lighthouse. The sea was producing a load of, what can only be described as, cream, or shaving foam. Most bizarre!

Anyone know why?

Looks like Dulex to me!

Cracking shot and well spotted. You could send it to ICI.

Hi Jimmy, my source says that this is caused by passing ships, it's the detergent and general polution that the ships cast off. Basically over here in Northern Ireland we call it SCUM......


Hope this answers your question Jimmy....

Ah, I know what you're on about. We get that off the coast of Sunderland.

Call me weird, but that actually looks quite tasty

Looks like a Guinness tanker ran aground.

This is taken the same day, this is however 10 miles (or so) south near Sunderland. Looks like dirty snow doesn't it.

Well Matt let me put it this way, if you want to taste it you go right ahead, just let me know what hospital they bring you to so I can send you a get well card......
