People gathered to watch the ongoing rescue operation in this photograph by Richard Watson.

As the stricken ship founders, the large crack in its side becomes visible above the vessel's waterline, as seen in this picture submitted by Nicola Colborne.
Julie Higginbottam from Taunton's picture shows a police command post set up on shore.
Steve Brien took this picture of one of the containers washed-up on shore which shows the damage to its cargo of cars.
Chris Stevens: "Fences were brought in to help control Branscombe Beach. People were clambering into half-submerged containers to search for valuables...
...Police have had to resort to focing open looters' cars, which have brought many of the backlanes around Branscombe to a stand still."
Alongside the container crates, dozens of wooden barrels also washed ashore. Picture by Ian Pain
David Fothegill: "It's a very long coast path when you're rolling a barrell!"
David Fothergill also sent this picture of young men taking car parts from the beach, made to take the coastal path with two miles still to go.
