Minehead harbour

Minehead harbour
Walking around Minehead nowadays must be quite different fro what it was some years back. This harbour has been here since 1380. Privateers based at Minehead were involved in the war with Spain and France during 1625–1630 and again during the War of the Spanish Succession from 1702–1713. In the background here we see the white roof of the Butlin’s Holiday resort.

HWW, have a great day.

A great shot of the harbour Herb. I love Minehead. My parents used to take us to Butlin's in the 1960's, which we loved. There were 5 of us ranging from me, the eldest to my sister 12 years younger, so something for all of us :-)

Best wishes, Rosa.

Thanks a lot Rosa. A lot of people used to go to Butlins. It was badly damaged just before we got there in September. Glad this brought back memories.

A beautiful little historic harbor, have you ever been there on a treasure hunt? The privateers probably lost some gold too, they were mostly drunk ;)) HFF Herb!

Haha, I think our English has caught you out Karsten. Privateers are quite different from Pirates. (Privateers: an armed ship owned and crewed by private individuals holding a government commission and authorized for use in war, especially in the capture of merchant shipping.) That being said I bet there were some smugglers around here. Always good to see you.

HWW, have a great New Year. Herb

I like to see low tide images Herb..........as they always reveal interesting stuff. I like the detail in the sea wall and the various mooring lines. A lovely collection of small boats too.

Butlins must have a job lot of those white structures.............this one is exactly the same as the one in Bognor Regis!

Nice to see you back Keith. Yes, harbours have a fascination for us. Yes, they do look somewhat alike. This one had suffered some damage by winds/floods just before we visited Minehead.

HWW, enjoy the week. Herb

Thanks Tanja. Not sure what you mean by it disappearing. It is a very sturdy structure but I know the tides can be wild around here. Glad you liked it.

It looks so interesting at low tide…and such an old harbour. There’d be some very interesting stories in those old walls!

Die Piraten mussten auf die Flut warten, bis sie auslaufen konnten. Hier ist es gut, wenn man eine Doppelkiel hat, der gut aufsetzen kann.
