Davy Jones Locker: The Kentish Knock and Ocean Dangers
The piece lists major maritime hazards from the Thames estuary to the Hugli and Sable Island. It highlights Kentish Knock as the ultimate graveyard where treacherous sands strand ships, with Margate lifeboat twenty to thirty miles away. Other dangers include the Hugli bar, Shambles drops, Portland Race, and a cliff-like Atlantic reef near Virgin rock, all contributing to a vast cemetery of wrecks.
