A sailing barge heading into Portsmouth Harbour. The image was captured from the Southsea end of Portsmouth, looking out on to Spithead. In the background are the hills of the Isle of Wight with yachts and a car ferry.

Solent Express Number of views as of 9th October 2018 = 1000. Pictured departing from Ryde on the Isle of Wight on its way across the Solent to Southsea, this is Hovertravel's BHT130 "Solent Express" hovercraft. Introduced in 2007, the Solent Express carries 130 passengers, is diesel-powered, and makes the crossing in just under 9 minutes, at least 13 minutes faster than its closest competitor.

Modern amenities include a large car park, popular cafe, and a golf course, not to mention the brightly coloured “Noddy” train, a favourite with children and adults alike. The Head is also a haven for bird life, insects, butterflies and reptiles. This view of Heng...

Scratchell's Bay, Isle of Wight Number of views as of 9th May 2018 = 390. Situated just South East of The Needles and facing the English Channel, the name Scratchell's Bay is thought to come from one of many names for the Devil.

The Irex was a new full-rigged sailing ship, bound from Glasgow to Rio de Janeiro with a cargo of iron pipes. After being battered by storms for 20 days, first in the Irish Sea and then in the Bay of Biscay and with some of the crew injured and a shifted cargo, the captain decided to seek shelter. The weather was still bad when the ship nea...

He was found guilty and fined 287 marks. However, as the wine was bound for the monastery of Livers in Picardy, de Godeton was also tried by Church courts for the same offence. The Church threatened to excommunicate de Godeton unless he built a lighthouse near Chale Bay. There was already an oratory on the top of the hill, dedicated to St. Catherine of Alexandria. This was augmented by the con...
