CO OZNACZA SŁOWO THE DOWNS
Downs
Downs to rezydencja lub obszar morza na południu Morza Północnego, w pobliżu kanału La Manche, na wschodnim wybrzeżu Kent, między północną i południową częścią Foreland w południowej Anglii. W 1639 roku odbyła się Bitwa pod Downs, kiedy holenderska flota zniszczyła flotę hiszpańską, która szukała schronienia w neutralnych wodach angielskich. Od czasów elżbietańskich, obecność Downsów przyczyniła się do uczynienia z Deal jednego z najlepszych portów w Anglii, a w XIX wieku został wyposażony w własną wieżę telegraficzną i siatkową, aby statki mogły ustawić swoje morskie chronometry. Wieża Timeball, Deal, Kent Zakotwienie ma głębokość do 12 fathów. Nawet w czasie południowych wałów zapewniono schronienie, chociaż w tej sytuacji wraków nie były rzadkie. Burze z dowolnego kierunku mogłyby też prowadzić statki na brzeg lub na piaski, które pomimo dostarczania chronionej wody stale się przesuwają, a nie zawsze odpowiednio oznakowane.
