Shipwreck with cargo of rare ceramics is listed for protection

The Josephine Willis, a wooden packet boat built in Limehouse, east London, and launched in 1854 by HH Willis Co, foundered 6.4km 3.98 miles) south of Folkestone Harbour after a collision with the steamer Mangerton on 3 February 1856, with the loss of 70 lives including Captain Edward Canney. The ship lies in two parts on the seabed, 23 metres deep.

Some of the ceramics are still in their crates and several unknown patterns have been discovered on cups, plates and bowls which, though utilitarian at the time, today have no equivalents in museum collections.
