Goodwin Sands, an extensive and dangerous shoal,
off the E. coast of Kent, opposite Sandwich and Deal,
about 5 miles from the mainland. N. to S. it is about
10 miles long; its breadth ranges from 14 to 3 miles,
and it forms a natural breakwater for the well-known
roadstead called the Downs. A considerable part of
the shoal is dry at low water. Goodwin Sands are said
to have belonged to the estate of the Earl Godwine,
and they are supposed to have been submerged in 1037.
Probably there is no place where wrecks have been
more numerous, consequently much has been done to
secure the safety of mariners. The shoal has 4 lights—
2 (East Goodwin and Gull) with revolving lights each
seen 10 miles, 1 (South Sand Head) with fixed light
seen 10 miles, and 1 (North Sand Head) with flashing
light seen 10 miles.
