Surprised Scots spot local shipwreck on Life of Pi poster David Gammack, a Cairnbulg resident, said: "It could really kick off tourism for those that are travelling through the region. I imagine it would be something that would really appeal to people if they found out that a local shipwreck was in a famous film. It's very well-known in the area, you can see it from miles around, even as far away as Fraserburgh which is about five miles away. Local councillor Brian Topping added: "I'm pleasantly surprised but anything that attracts people to the area is a positive. There have been discussions about it recently and the community council has been trying to have the boat shifted for some time. Yet Mr Gammack, who is also the Invercairn Community Council secretary, said they would still be seeking the boat's removal nonetheless. He said: "I can still remember hearing about all the fishermen who were airlifted off the boat after it ran aground that night, it was big news But it's been regarded as a bit of an eyesore since then and it's a safety hazard for children who go out swimming near it in the summer. Especially now it's moved closer to the shore by about 50 metres after the power of the waves during the recent storms. The Sovereign has been stuck off the shore of Inverallochy and Cairnbulg since December 18, 2005, when there were wild storms on the Aberdeenshire coast. The Life of Pi poster, which was designed by LA studio The Refinery and appears to feature The Sovereign, has been singled out by the IMP Awards, the body which recognises the best movie posters. The film by Ang Lee is based on the best-selling novel by Yann Martel and has already been with nominated for three Golden Globe and nine critics' choice nominations. It tells the story of a 16-year-old Indian boy who becomes a castaway when a ship carrying him to America becomes shipwrecked in a violent storm.
