Flowers on Burnt Island

The small area of Burnt Island that is above the tide line is covered in flowers. Sea thrift, I think. From a print, date not exact.

Islands south of Annet - Scilly

Lots of sharp, low lying points of granite. One group is aptly called Hellweathers.

Sunset on the Smiths

The rock in the right of this picture is little Smith, you can also see the brow around it and the Bristolman and half-tide ledges behind and to the right, these are the only features in this grid square.

Haycocks, Annet - Scilly

These jags of granite look ideal for trapping and dispatching ships in bad weather.

Scillonian Granite

The following winter this rock was subject to the attentions of Trinity House and this SV8708 : Navigational Marker on Burnt Island was built on top of it.

Navigational Marker on Burnt Island

This marker was built by Trinity House in the spring of 2002 to mark the North-West passage following an incident a few years before when a German cruise liner ran aground entering the Islands. Lining up the marker with the St Agnes lighthouse guides ships safely into the archipelago. The construction is considered by many to be an unnecessary eyesore.
