Maunsell Sea Forts
Off the Kent Coast, 3 June 2006

The Maunsell Forts were erected in the Second World War to protect the Thames Estuary. We took a boat trip out to see three of them one sunny Saturday afternoon in early June. A video of the boat trip around the Maunsell Forts is also available.

A variety of sources have been used in the compilation of comments to accompany these photos - I've attempted to weed out the most accurate facts but please let me know if I've got something wrong!

Many thanks to Bayblast and Hywel Williams for making this trip possible
