TOP 10 STRANGEST THINGS TO WASH UP ON SHORE
It's almost a given that you'll find some stair objects and creatures on a seashore. Maybe
seashells, seaweed and even the occasional piece of driftwood. But, what you would not expect
to see could be unexploded bombs, sacks of milk or brand-new motorbikes littering the sands.
Some pretty weird things wash up on beaches around the world and in this video, we are going
to show you the top ten strangest things to wash up on shore. Make sure to keep watching.
#10 Driftwood covered in gooseneck barnacles, Auckland, New Zealand
In December 2016, Crowds flocked to see a highly talked about 'monster' at Auckland's Muriwai
beach with cameras in hand, hoping to catch a glimpse of the "Muriwai Monster". A Beach-goer
named Melissa was the first person who discovered the barnacled drift wood on a Saturday,
and hurriedly posted pictures of it on Facebook.
The posts generated a lot of online traffic, with people both confused and intrigued by the alien-
looking object. They all suddenly wanted to know about this strange-looking alien creature that
washed up on their shores. After creating a lot of noise on the internet and attracting the
attention of authorities, The New Zealand Marine Sciences Society finally took a look at the
genesis of all the gossip.
On thorough inspection, The New Zealand Marine Sciences Society revealed that the strange
alien-like object was a piece of driftwood that was almost entirely covered in what are known as
gooseneck barnacles. Gooseneck barnacles are filter-feeding crustaceans that live attached to
hard surfaces of rock or driftwood and while many would refer to them as smelly, unseemly
wrigglers, others would say otherwise.

You might be delighted to know that these Gooseneck barnacles are considered to be a
luxurious delicacy and they are a widely consumed and expensive delicacy known as percebes
in Portugal and Spain.
#9 Sacks of milk powder, Tauranga, New Zealand
Whatever it is you expect to see on the beach, I can bet that milk or multiple sacks of it are not
one of those things. In 2012, shipping containers, sacks of milk powder and other debris
washed onto popular New Zealand beaches after a cargo ship stuck on an offshore reef for
three months started breaking apart due to being battered mercilessly by heavy seas.
The 47,230-tonne Liberian-flagged cargo ship named Rena, was grounded for three months on
Astrolabe Reef before it finally broke in two about 14 miles off Tauranga on the east coast of
New Zealand after being pounded by waves of up to 20 feet.

An oil sheen was cast about 1.8 miles from the stricken vessel and small amounts of oil started
washing up on nearby islands and beaches. Timber, plastic and most popular, dozens of sacks
of milk powder also littered the beach after an estimated 200-300 containers stacked in the 775-
foot ship were washed into the sea when it broke apart. The police had to close down the Waihi
Beach to the public after reports of people removing items that had washed up. What, who
knows if some of them ended up somehow using the milk for, I don't know, cereal?
#8 An unexploded bomb, North Carolina, USA
It is rather insane and unbelievable to think that so many decades after the second weekend
East, the effects are still being felt so over the world some way, somehow. In October 2020, The
historic Cape Hatteras Light Station grounds were closed after a bomb appeared in the surf at
Buxton on the Outer Banks. A half-mile safety perimeter was put up to keep tourists out and
keep them safe, including the lighthouse grounds, nearby parking lots and surrounding beach,
officials said in a release.
After carefully inspecting the unexpected bomb, authorities eventually confirmed that the object
was a live military ordnance. After waiting for three long hours, the scary device was
successfully detonated and the explosion was so powerful that it sent sand 60 feet into the air.
Although uncertain, the exact origin of the bomb was ascertainable. Military training exercises
were common in waters off the Outer Banks during Second World War. Even decades after
those dark times, objects resembling torpedoes and mines have a history of washing ashore.
Detonating these bombs deliberately and safely is important so that they don't go off by
themselves, causing even more danger.
#7 Hairballs, Australia and Europe
In 2014, beachgoers were shocked when green balls washed up on the shore of Dee Why
Beach in Sydney, Australia. Soon enough photos of the strange hairy balls went viral on the
internet and soon people started to claim that the objects were Extra-Terrestrial.
