Maunsell Sea Forts

Maunsell Sea Forts were constructed in the Second World War to protect London and other Thames settlements from the aerial and naval attentions of Nazi Germany. Three sets of Maunsell Forts, named after their designer Guy Maunsell, were built in the Estuary to this design in 1943 and fortified towers were used as anti-aircraft defense in the Second World War . Decommissioned in 1950 ,Red Sands Sea Forts stand empty, rusting away in the sea like a giants from science fiction movie.
