Description Many marine animals are voracious predators and scavengers, and their activities may in various ways affect wreck-formation processes. The velvet swimming crab (Liocarcinus puber) is common off Duart Point, and clustered around the excavation areas to pounce on the more sedate species that were often by our digging. They may have been instrumental in dispersing the remains of the one known casualty of the Duart Point wreck, whose bones were found widely dispersed throughout the collapsed stern area.
