Most of you will know that our colleague, Councillor Peter Campbell, died last month. Both as a resident and councillor I have a lot of reasons to be grateful to him. Indeed, there’s a lot to be grateful for in Ramsgate generally and especially in its forward thinking, green-focused Town Council. Not only is it committed to planting trees and keeping our open spaces in team around in our electric, repurposed milk floats, excellent condition, but it does as much as it can to tackling all sorts of jobs in all weathers. We should assist volunteer groups like The Ramsgate Society, applaud them. and lots of other incredibly good ones, in tidying up, planting and sponsoring.

You may see the Chair of Ramsgate Town Council 3 Does Age Matter? As Ramsgate celebrates the 200th anniversary of Ramsgate Royal Harbour we consider if a 1,200-year celebration might be more accurate. William Archibald Scott Robinson wrote in his Kentish Archaeology of 1898 “Ramsgate and Manston are more ancient than anyone suspects.” Dover boats came to major burial sites around Ramsgate before Stonehenge or the Pyramids were built. Sea routes that converge around Ramsgate have been central to maritime activity for over 2,500 years. Ramsgate itself grew from a small, natural gap in the cliffs to become a harbour of refuge from the troubled waters of the English Channel, used by small vessels and maintaining a low but significant profile in commerce, fishing, innovation, national interests, naval and military action. Ownership of Historic Ports • Military Ports, like Portsmouth and Plymouth have a Queen’s Harbour Master; • Municipal Ports, are owned by local authorities such as Thanet District Council; • Trust Ports such as Dover and Poole are independent statutory bodies; • Private Ports are owned by private companies like ABP and Peel Ports. 4 The Harbours Act of 1964 The Harbours Act of 1964 places on all of the various owners of Historic Ports a responsibility to consider the environment in their management of a port or harbour, including having regard to any building, site or object of archaeological, architectural or historic interest. 5 The Clock House: The Clock House was originally erected as a watchtower. Then a spire was added, a clock, two wings with meeting rooms, slated gable roofs, and, before topping out, a fireproof store, for inflammables used on Trinity House beacons and buoys, was excavated into the chalk below the structure while scientific equipment went into the central gap beneath the tower. A later conservatory- like wooden extension to the rear faced the harbour to monitor and receive fish catches. Clock House and Harbour: • Smeaton designed his own early diving bell and used it to build the harbour. • During the Napoleonic Wars, the Royal Navy improved quayside access to facilitate rapid boarding and built reinforced quayside powder stores for faster, safer loading. • Nathaniel Gott designed the “Vinegar Bottle” in 1820. Visible in many prints of the period, it was used to blend pitch and tar for dockside repairs. • Observatory and navigational aids were installed in the Clock House under a founding member of the Royal Society, Sir William Curtis, who had a house above the Harbour.

    AN ECONOMIC PLAN FOR BROADSTAIRS 2016 In 1851 Charles Dickens wrote Our English Watering Place, an essay to his favourite seaside holiday resort – Broadstairs: ‘since I have been idling at the window here, the tide has risen. The boats are dancing on the bubbling water; the colliers are afloat again; the white-bordered waves rush in; the children Do chase the ebbing Neptune, and do fly him When he comes back; the radiant sails are gliding past the shore, and shining on the far horizon; all the sea is sparkling, heaving, swelling up with life and beauty, this bright morning’ Our English Watering Place, Charles Dickens (1851) CONTENTS 1 Introduction 2.

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.
