It's something a little bit bigger, but it gives you a good idea of what's used to propel ships.

Oh wow, I had never heard of that. I mean, the trench is deep but it isn't so deep you wouldn't ever have to worry about it again. I guess the perspective of the people at the time was that it would probably all be alright - or no

There is a story that a significant amount of debris from London was dumped in the Thames - some in the vicinity of Redsands Forts [1]. This rubble makes for some fantastic fishing opportunities - the distribution of fishing boats on a summ

Same here, that and keeping a written record of the tasks I'm specifically working on means I have a good track of what I've done and what I need to do next. I must look pretty special with the amount of notes I take, but it'
