Microgrants/Wrecks on Doom Bar

Overview

The Doom Bar is a bank of sand in the Camel Estuary in Cornwall. I've spent a fair amount of time working on the article, trying to get it up to featured status. One of the books I checked when I first wrote the article though gives some detailed information about the ships that were wrecked there, but I'm having difficulty getting hold of that book.

Budget

Brain French: Wrecks and Rescues Around Padstow's Doom Bar - £23 on Amazon

Timeline

I believe the main article should be put in to the Featured Article process within three months. A list article listing the wrecks on the bar should be available within the following 6 months, and hopefully submitted to the Featured List Criteria by the end of the year

Expected outcomes

• w:en:Doom Bar should be able to get to Featured Article status
• w:en:List of wrecks on the Doom Bar should be created and reach Featured List status.

Who I am

I'm Dave Craven, or w:en:Worm That Turned. I'm currently based in the North West UK and regularly attend Wiki-meetups in both Liverpool and Manchester. I'm a member of WMUK and active on the English Wikipedia, have a look at my userpage for more info. I grew up primarily in the South West of UK, where I use to enjoy the local beers. Doom Bar was one of my favourites in the 90s (before it went corporate) and piqued my interest in the name.
