nice local fauna

Those structures......hey guy's, attention, get a grip, focus.....that's better. Now as I was saying, those structures look like loading platforms. I would say mining once took place there. Or they were offshore loadign platforms for bulkcargo vessels that could not get in any closer due to no deep water port.

Funny stuff guys, I found a clip of a ocean frieghter dropping its anchor on a small tugboat, hope it hasn't been posted before.

Ya Gord
That is a truely awsome pair of lobsters. I wonder if the admiral would mind if I got me a lobster holder like that to keep aboard in case lobsters ever show up on this coast.

I luv the cannon on the foredeck!

We Brits have been building sea defences since Napoleonic times. Try these Solent hazards to navigation for size.
The Nab Light Tower is a forerunner to the Maunsell Sea Forts & marks the Deep Water entry into the Solent

The 4 degree list is not an illusion it's had it since sunk
For the Thames Estuary Sea Forts navigate from
Fort Fax & see Offshore
for publications videos & CD's on the Maunsell Sea Forts

The Napoleonic Forts here Horse Sand Fort in June 2003 on the mainland side of the Portsmouth approach
