The #British emigrant #ship #Josephine #Willis sank off #Kent near #Folkestone in 1856 while transporting people to #NewZealand. 70 lives were lost, including #Captain #Edward #Canney. The ship lies in 2 parts on the #seabed, 23 metres #deep.
The ship contained a large quantity of exceptionally #rare #ceramics. Many are in pristine condition and are unknown in current #museum collections.

Apparently sharing stories of refugees crossing the channel is now illegal under #Tory UK.

RT @ESA_EO: The @CopernicusEU #Sentinel1 mission takes us over the busy #EnglishChannel. In this image, radar images spanning 2016 to 2018 over the same area have been compressed into one image. The water appears dark in the image and the ships appear as bright dots https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2019/04/English_Channel

Oh the colours in this photo! Another favourite from my dock fouling experience in Plymouth. I found this colonial sea squirt Botrylloides violaceus in several different colours at this location.

Another favourite from 2022. This is the potato crisp bryozoan (Pentapora foliacea), and it has its lophophores out for feeding (the little fluffy bits). Found whilst dock fouling in Plymouth.

This can't be rationalised any other way. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63968941 #Immigration #Asylum #EnglishChannel

From my trip to #Brighton today. A couple of photos of St Bartholemewβs Church - there was a #CraftFair, and two photos by the #pier at #dusk. I tried to snap the #murmerations but I was a bit too late to get the best of them, and the ones I did get were blurred π¬.

Most people who cross the #EnglishChannel leave their homes in search of a better life, freedom, respect, or a decent, assured income. But countries comply differently with their international obligations towards #refugees.
