Polish captain ran his ship aground as he tried to sail from Scotland to Belgium - because he FORGOT that England was in the way:
MV Danio cargo ship hit Farne Island, off the Northumberland coast
Farne Island nature reserve is home to 80,000 pairs of seabirds and a large grey seal colony
Captain had been sailing from Perth, Scotland, to Antwerp, Belgium
Coastguard claims captain forgot land juts out into the sea and was using unapproved navigation system similar to a car's Sat Nav
Lookout on ship was asleep when the vessel hit land, documentary claims
