English: Shoebury Boom 1 This boom was built of timber during WW2. It runs a mile and 3/4 out to see from the MOD foreshore on East Beach. A second boom was built on the Isle of Sheppey, opposite Shoeburyness to create a submarine trap for U-Boats. The boom was reinforced with concrete during the Cold War. I walked out to the corner of this structure at the lowest tide and even then it was dangerous and scary because the tide started coming back really quickly and I was in about six inches of water. I have lots more pictures of this structure on my website if you are interested in this structure. See my other pictures of it.
