In Popular Culture
The Receiver of Wreck was mentioned by Charlton Heston in the The Wreck of the Mary Deare (film). Show of Hands, an English folk band, sing about the Receiver of Wreck in the song The Napoli. This was inspired by the wreck of the MSC Napoli which was grounded in Branscombe Bay and subsequently lost many containers which were washed up on the beach before being rifled through by people flocking to the small village.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Like other secret lovers, many speak mockingly about popular culture to conceal their passion for it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I am writing to resist the view that Europe and civilization are going to Hell. If I am being “crucified for an idea”Mthat is, the coherent idea around which my muddles accumulated—it is probably the idea that European culture ought to survive, that the best qualities of it ought to survive along with whatever cultures, in whatever universality. Against the propaganda of terror and the propaganda of luxury, have you a nice simple answer?”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
