Wiley, the Wash Monster amphibious craft on the beach at Hunstanton in Norfolk


The Wash Monster is an amphibious landing craft built in 1967 for service with the US military in Vietnam. It seats 60 passengers, and now takes tourists on trips out into the Wash, straight from the beach in Hunstanton. One of the most popular trips takes visitors to Seal Island, which has the largest population of common seals in the world.
