Aremis Fowl - Metal Towers In The Sea

[pacuk01]

At the start I saw an excerpt of the film showing metal tower/ tank like structures on stilts out in the sea. Where are these and what are they for? I am sure I have seen them recently in another film or program.

They are Sea Forts, info on this page.

Thank you. You don't know what they have appeared in. I have definitely seen them recently during lockdown.

I'll have a look.

A couple of references here but nothing very recent, they may not be listed.

This map shows their location:

They're easily visible from Whitstable, from where they run boat trips out to them. (There are sometimes boat trips from Southend too).

Have a visit.
