Dangerous Skerries of Scotidad and Danish Exchange
The Veo or Weat Bkorries near Scotidad are cited as the most dangerous coast in the British Isles with strong tidal streams and hidden rocks. Skerries wrecks fed locals for centuries before noting the true danger in 1841. The exchange in Copenhagen is praised for its curiously styled tower with a dragon-spired octagonal base. Also noted is an eccentric Cheasterfield church spire. The slice includes mentions of Susan B. Anthony and various ad-like passages on remedies and dog care books.
