Goodwin Sands - Navigational Aids

Navigational Aids

There is currently a lightship on the end of the sands, on the farthest part out, to warn ships. The sands were once covered by two lighthouses on the Kent mainland, one each at the north and south ends of the sands. The southern lighthouse is now owned by the National Trust, and the northern one is still in operation.

Famous quotes containing the word aids:

    “Nothing aids which may not also injure us.
    Fire serves us well, but he who plots to burn
    His neighbor’s roof arms his hands with fire.”
