If you open Google Earth and type in "Smallhythe" in the "Fly To" box
and go there, then type in "Time Team", you'll see
D - Henry V's naval dockyard,
TEN MILES inland today.
The 1000 ton "Jesus" was built there.

"In the 13th century, the island was part of the coastline bordering what is
now the Romney Marsh. As that silted up, and until the later 17th century,
the River Rother which enters the sea beyond Rye and flowed across Kent in a
west-east direction, was in a channel to the north of the island. By the
late 18th century, the river had changed its course to the south. Today the
former sea and river channels are low-lying land, leaving the erstwhile
island as high ground, but still retaining its name."

"Julius Caesar came first, briefly, in both 55 and 54 BCE; one hundred years
later Claudius sent four legions to Britain, where the Romans were to remain
for the next four hundred years. During that time the port of Richborough,
on the opposite side of the Wantsum Channel (see Geography below), became
one of the chief ports. "
In the eighth century it was reported that the Channel was now three
furlongs wide (660 yards, 600 m), and a map of 1414 showed a ferry crossing
at Sarre. The first bridge over the channel was built there in 1485. Until
the mid 18th century there was a ferry between Sandwich and the island; a
wooden drawbridge was built, and the ferry was closed."
"Today the Isle is an island no longer. The erstwhile Channel is now flat
marshland criss-crossed by drainage ditches, whilst the exposed chalk cliffs
are gradually being worn down by the sea, particularly at the North
Foreland. Much else of the coast is a built-up area. The Wantsum area is
still liable to flooding: during the North Sea flood of 1953 Thanet was cut
off for a few days, but the sea defences have been strengthened since then."
Sea level has FALLEN 2 metres in the last 600 years. What was the
anthropogenesis that caused this catastrophic drop in sea level, removing
teratons of sea water from arable land?
Is that in Northeast Britain where glacial ice was 12000
years ago, much of the north coast on both sides of the Channel
may be rising due to the weight of the ice being removed.
In that case post your source for data indicating that we've added
very little CO2 to the atmosphere. The concentration has increased
significantly since the beginning of the industrial revolution, and
we are emitting gigatons of fossil CO2 per year. You show that its
going nowhere. But don't appeal to an authority that's in a position
to know.
