Lifeboat, bricks washed ashore on UAQ beach

A lifeboat has been found on the Umm Al Quwain beach near the fishermen’s port in Naqa’a, according to the Arabic newspaper ‘Al Ittihad’.

According to the newspaper, there was no one on the lifeboat.

Meanwhile, tonnes of bricks have also been found scattered on the beach in UAQ.

Government officials say the bricks could be from a sunken ship or from a ship that threw them overboard after being caught in a storm.

UAQ authorities conducted a nautical survey to find out the source of the bricks and the lifeboat.

Musapah Humeed, Director of the UAQ Department of Public Works and Services, said that the department is working to remove the bricks from the beach which may take a few days.

UAQ residents were surprised to see the heavy bricks washed ashore on the beach.

Obaid Hamad said he went to the beach when he heard that bricks were floating in the sea. He said the quantity of bricks deposited on UAQ shores is very large.
