THERE are plenty of interesting things to spot in the ocean from a cruise ship, but something most are not expecting to see is a leg.
A swimmer who lost their prosthetic leg almost a year ago has finally been reunited with it, more than 20 kilometres away from where they lost it.
The leg, which was lost in England by Brenda Ogden, a woman in her sixties, is worth almost A$4,000, and was carried out to sea when she was knocked over by a wave on a beach in Bridlington in Apr.
Ogden’s swimming group tried to find the limb, but it was swept away by the tide – that is, until another woman spotted it earlier this month, almost a year later.
Elizabeth Forbes found the leg among the rocks while hunting for fossils on the shore of Atwick, more than 20 kilometres away.
Forbes did not take the limb, instead posting a photo to social media, where a number of users got in touch claiming they knew who it belonged to, reuniting Ogden with her leg.
