Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society

As we waited for the ferry to arrive, saw this mine at the dock. It was still about an hour half to For William once we re-boarded the train. This whole ordeal was quite unexpected and enjoyable. All these years later, realize I'd have known all about this as dear Google would have provided ample links for information.

"This is a Naval Mine of the type used in the second war in defence of our coasts and as an offensive weapon in enemy waters. It is made available to THE SHIPWRECKED MARINER'S SOCIETY by the Admiralty for use as a collecting box. It is placed here by the kind permission of the Local Authority.

Since 1839, the Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society has provided financial assistance to fishermen and mariners and their dependants who have suffered hardship, misfortune or poverty, as a result of an accident, illness, disability, unemployment or retirement. "82060414
