Six boats have sunk in the River Yare this year already, with two going down close to each other between Reedham and Berney Arms.

Broads Authority (BA) officers have been left perplexed about what is causing the growing number of sinkings.

The situation has sparked comparisons with the Bermuda Triangle, an area in the western Atlantic Ocean notorious for the high number of aircraft and ships that have disappeared there - often under mysterious circumstances.

Rob Rogers, director of operations at the BA, said he "could not explain" why the River Yare had seen a rise in wrecks.
