St. Marys

St. Marys was built in the 14th century and is now redundant. It was witness to the Battle of Towton where 28,000 were slaughtered in a blizzard on Palm Sunday 1461. Many of the Commanders will have taken prayers here prior to the battle.

The Concrete Fleet

Black And White Photography, Laurie, Photography

This image was taken during a boat tour of the Concrete Fleet, aka Kiptopeke’s Breakwater. These concrete ships were made in 1942 during a WWII steel shortage. Two dozen concrete ships were built and served throughout WWII, with two seeing combat. The nine ships that make up the breakwater at Kiptopeke all served as transport and training vessels in the South Pacific. The breakwater at Kiptopeke protects the beach and pier now owned by Kiptopeke State Park.
