TerryMcCann Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Bloody Hell. With no lighthouse there you just know that the Steam Packet will somehow manage to smash the new seacat into the breakwater there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Is this the one removed from the wrecked outer breakwater at PE then floated round to PSM? I've heard that story to, it was of a sectional cast iron construction so could have been taken apart and rebuilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 "The washing away of the 15 foot high lighthouse at the end of Port St Mary breakwater has highlighted the need for a closer look at the structure of the pier, according to director of harbours Mike Brew."

P.K. Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Presumably it went off the front taking the railings with it? Interesting because at low tide the water can't be more than about 20 ft deep. Especially with the piles of scallop shells... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
