Hundreds of starnge 19th-century boots are washing up on a beach in Wales — and no one knows why
Black leather boots, potentially dating back to the Victorian era, have repeatedly washed ashore at Ogmore-by-Sea in southern Wales. Volunteers have recovered over 400 shoes since September, with the most accepted theory suggesting they originated from a cargo ship that sank approximately 150 years ago. These historical remnants continue to surface, suggesting a persistent connection to the sea.
