They have been the setting for a range of maritime activities and events going back to ancient times which also reflects the growing importance of various ports along the Kentish coastline, such as the Cinque Ports. The Channel has seen the arrival of invasion fleets and raiding vessels going back to the Roman period, and has been the scene of a number of naval conflicts. It has often acted as a frontline defence during times of warfare, and then in times of peace is an important trading route for both visiting vessels and those on route to other national and international ports. It is therefore unsurprising that a number of vessels have been lost to the sea over the years and now comprise a valuable collection of wrecks off the coast of the district.

  • The Territorialisation of Temporarily Exposed English Sandbanks For
    Journal of Marine and Island Cultures, v6n1 — Hayward Gaming e Tide: e territorialisation of temporarily exposed English sandbanks for social cricket events Philip Hayward University of Technology Sydney, and Southern Cross University, Australia [email protected] Publication Information: Received 16 March 2017, Accepted 21 June 2017, Available online 28 June 2017 doi: 10.21463/jmic.2017.06.1.01 Abstract Over the last 200 years a number of sandbanks that rise above the surface of the sea or river estuaries for brief periods during low tide points have been site of cricket matches organised by teams based in adjacent coastal areas. The most regular locations for such performances have been the Goodwin Sands (an area of sandbanks located in the English Channel, close to the coast of the English county of Kent) and the Bramble Bank in the Solent. Other locations, such as banks in the River Tamar, have also seen one-off events of this kind. The article identifies these sports occasions as constituting particular forms of temporary territorialisations of space that adapt aspects of the game for the conditions of rapidly changing locations. The annual matches provide an example of the human rendition of spaces as temporary island neighbourhoods, the ephemerality of which is key to their attraction and meaning. Notably, they also involve a return to conventions of traditionally recognised ‘fair play’ in cricket that have significantly diminished in the modern form of the game. In this manner, the temporary spaces of the sandbanks allow for a revival of customs that relate to earlier participatory performance traditions and allow these to be re-affirmed.

  • The Loss of the South Goodwin Lightship LV-90
    Home About Me Contact Blog MARITIME ARCHAEOLOGY, MARITIME HISTORY The Loss of The South Goodwin Lightship LV-90 “…The South Goodwin Lightship Search could just be seen, a dim red barque Search … !! married forever to the same compass point and condemned, like a property ship on the stage of Drury Lane, to watch a diorama of waves and clouds sail busily into the wings. Without papers or passengers or cargo, it lay anchored forever to the departure point which was also its destination….anchored to the gates of a graveyard.” Ian Fleming, Moonraker The Danger of Lightship Duty Although life aboard a lightship was routine and monotonous, it was beset with moments that were a true test of courage. The unfortunate story that this blog post is going to relate is a perfect testament to the danger of lightship duty. I wanted to continue the theme of the previous blog posts regarding my research into LV-95 by relating a story of survival that illustrates both the inherent hazard and therefore the importance of lightship duty. Lightships have long since been eclipsed by modern technology with the last American lightship Nantucket being taken off station in 1985 and the LV- 95 being taken off station from the port of Milwaukee by the installation of a radio beacon. It is the feeling of this author that people have forgotten what these ships are and what they did. I have recently obtained the rare model kit of the South Goodwin produced by Revell not knowing the tragic history behind this ship and that is my inspiration for this blog post.
