Description

St. Catherine's southern Breakwater. The start of the southern breakwater which would (with the completed northern breakwater) have created a huge "refuge" harbour from which the Royal Navy could blockade the French ports during times of conflict.
Work ceased when the French became allies of Britain in the 1850s.

The northern breakwater can be seen stretching out some 600m into the sea on the left of the picture.
