1/12. Welcome to the #SolentHarbours virtual #LowTideTrail around #FortonLake. This creek has an amazing number of vessels (around 30) from barges and lifeboats, to fishing vessels and military craft.

We hope you will enjoy #archaeology from home during the COVID crisis. 2/12. Forton Lake is actually a tidal creek, meaning that the water comes and goes each day. It’s fed by sea water coming in from #PortsmouthHarbour. As the tide goes out, the skeletons of abandoned vessels are revealed in the mud. Forton Lake is about 1km in length and 150m wide

Morning everyone! It's #LowTideTrail time! #NewBrighton developed from a coastal town, with a notorious history of smuggling and wrecking, into a booming and popular Victorian resort.

Let's take a look around and see what #archaeology we can see. #LiverpoolBayDiscovery New Brighton looking towards Bootle across the Mersey New Brighton has seen a lot of change, with much of the sea front reclaimed from the sea over the last 100 years.
The establishment of the promenade in the early 1900s extended the foreshore significantly, leaving this cliff face preserved as a relic of New Brighton’s past.

Join us to learn about the cities maritime past #LiverpoolBayDiscovery 400 years ago, Liverpool (or Lerpole) was a tidal inlet where ships could seek relative safety while unloading their cargo. Land reclamation of the Pool started in the late 16th century (300 years ago) and was complete by the early 1700s. This paved the way for the first dock. Sorry, can't get Twitter to rotate the image correctly.

It’s Friday so time for another virtual #LowTideTrail #archaeology walk! Today we’ll take a Twitter based tour of Hull. Join us to learn about the city’s maritime past and its urban archaeology #HumberDiscovery The site of the Hull and East Riding Museum, was once the site of a custom house. Deliberately located close to the River Hull, it proved difficult for custom officials to assess cargo due to the large numbers of boats moored there. Hull was well known for not paying exise duty.
