A 13-year-old boy in Cornwall has successfully recovered a rare Lego octopus, a piece considered the 'holy grail' among collectors, from a 1997 maritime spill. Over two years, the young beachcomber has collected nearly 800 Lego pieces that were lost at sea when a shipping container accidentally discharged its cargo into the ocean.
