The Harbour
Additional Details:
A stone pier at the side of the harbour was erected by John Rennie in 1515 and the Lighthouse at the end in 1529. The life boat houses are on this pier and the daring exploits of thee men of Margate in many a storm and tempest are matters of splendid history. Philatelic Interest: Sent to Juan R. Pacheco Garcia, Collector in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic |
