A shipping hazard was pulled from the water in Caister this afternoon.
Caister Lifeboat crew were called shortly after 2.30pm on Friday, December 27, in a bid to prevent the hazard, believed to have been a channel marker, from reaching the sea.
The marker is believed to have come from Breydon Water.
In a post on the Caister Lifeboat Facebook page, they said: "Caister lifeboat was called at 14.36 to a shipping hazard off Caister.
"Believed to have come from Breydon Water as a channel marker, it would have gone through the river port to reach the sea.
"Can you imagine the damage this post could have done to a fibre glass or wooden hulled boat?"
