#SeaTheWorld The Maunsell naval forts, strategically situated in the Thames estuary and meticulously maintained by the Royal Navy, stood ready to thwart and report German air raids, safeguarding the iconic Thames as a crucial landmark, and thwarting attempts to lay mines by aircraft through this vital shipping channel.

Let me know if that's something you would be interested in. Pictures courtesy of Neil Brown (thank you!)
