Légende

Ramsgate Harbour, [Kent], 1850. 'Early in the present century, a stone lighthouse was erected on the west pier...The harbour includes an area of forty-eight acres, and furnishes a convenient shelter for vessels which are obliged by heavy gales to run from the Downs. It is provided with basin, and floodgates for scouring it from the drifted sand or mud....Another great work at Ramsgate is the Shipway, constructed in 1838-9, for the repair of damaged vessels. It was built according to the patent of Messrs. Morton...who furnished the iron-work and machinery...The group of fishing craft [in our illustration] is characteristically picturesque. In the distance is shown the lofty Lantern Tower of St. George's Church...to the right is the Mount Albion estate, where the mansion known as Albion House was, if we remember rightly, tenanted by her present Majesty when Princess Victoria'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
