  • Swanage and Portland: Historical
    1 Swanage and Portland: Historical IN THE BEGINNING On the 6th of January 1786 two men scaled the cliff near Seacombe. Unlike climbers today this pair were not driven by challenge but by necessity. They were crew of the Dutch East Indiaman Halsewell, which had been blown onto the rocks by a violent gale. They raised help and, although the captain’s daughters perished, being too terrified to leave their cabin, another eighty of the ship’s complement of 240 were saved from the sea. One of their number was coloured and therefore a rare sight for the insular locals. Unfortunately, he was not to survive the short journey to shelter up at Worth Matravers; the stile where he died is still known as Black Man’s Gate. Interest in the considerable extent of limestone along the Dorset coastline near Swanage can be traced back to the obscure origins of the cliffstone trade in medieval times. Serious quarrying activity dates from about 1700 and continued up to the mid-nineteenth century. It was during this period that the platforms at Tilly Whim, Dancing Ledge, Winspit, etc. were cut, a legacy later to be enjoyed by the climbing fraternity and in those days put to extensive use by the smugglers whose affairs were rife all along the Dorset coast. Quarrying of the cliffs themselves finally ceased with the closing of Seacombe in the 1920s and of Winspit in the 1950s. For the first documented ascent of any part of the Swanage cliffs other than for commercial gain, we have to go back to the latter part of the nineteenth century, the time of the Empire and the great Victorian pioneers, when famous alpinists such as Mummery, Tyndall, Whymper, and the notorious Aleister Crowley were practising their alpine climbing on the chalk precipices of Beachy Head and at St Margaret’s Bay.

    Downloaded from http://trn.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Iowa on March 18, 2015 I.—On the Geology of the Neighbourhood of Weymouth and the adjacent Parts of the Coast of Dorset. BY THE REV. W. BUCKLAND, D.D. P.G.S. F.R.S. (PROFESSOR OF GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.) AND H. T. DE LA BECHE, ESQ. F.G.S. F.R.S. &c. [Read April 2 and 16, 1830.] 1EW parts of the world present in a small compass so instructive a series of geological phenomena as those which are displayed in the vertical cliffs of the south coast of England. An important portion of this coast, including the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Purbeck, has been well described by Mr. Webster*, and subsequently illustrated by Dr. Fittonf. In the Second Series of the Geological Transactions J, Mr. De la Beche has published sections of the coast from Bridport Harbour to Sidmouth; and in the same volume Dr. Buckland has given drawings of the cliffs from Sidmouth to Beer Head, and from Lyme Regis to the Isle of Portland §. The geological history of the neighbourhood of Weymouth has been partially illustrated by Prof. Sedgwick in the Annals of Philosophy ||; and it will be the object of this paper to supply its full details, illustrated by a map and sections; beginning our observations at the point where Mr. Webster's sections end, viz., at the Pro­ montory of White Nore, about eight miles E.N.E. of the town of Weymouth, and continuing them to Weymouth and Portland, and thence westward along the Chesil Bank to the cliffs west of Lyme Regis.
