TEXT
1. There are numerous wrecks along the coast, in particular between Beachy Head and Dungeness and up to 9 miles offshore. Many of these wrecks stand well above the seabed and may need to be avoided.
2. Hastings Shoal (50º 50' N, 0º 36' E) lies 8 cables S of the breakwater at Hastings. Four Fathoms Sand Ridge (50º 49' N, 0º 39' E) lies 4 miles S of Hastings and extends NE merging into the shoal bank bordering the shores of Rye Bay. Depths over the ridge are irregular, with the least depth being over Fairlight Knoll at the NE extremity of the ridge.
3. The dominate feature offshore is the Goodwin Sands, which lie on the E side of The Downs and Gull Stream and parallel to the coast from South Foreland to Ramsgate. The Goodwin Sands are moved by the tidal streams and their form can be altered extensively as a result. There are large drying patches on the sands along their E and N borders, which lie up to 6 miles from the coast.
4. Les Ecamais are two groups of scattered banks formed by Grands Ecamais, least depth 12 m and Petits Ecamais, least depth 11 m. The banks lie to seaward of the general line of the 20 m depth contour and consist of sand, gravel and shell, which are dangerous in heavy seas.
5. The Bancs de Somme are subject to change both in position and height. When there are onshore winds the sea is very rough over the banks, which should be avoided. The outer banks consist of fine shifting sands. If a vessel grounds on them the tidal streams tend to wash away the sand from the extremities of the vessel causing her to capsize or break her back.
6. Vergoyer is a narrow sand bank, which runs 15 miles NE from the vicinity of 50º 26' N, 1º 02'E. It lies about 5 miles to seaward of Bassure de Baas and runs parallel to it. The E side of the bank is sleep-to and the sea breaks over the bank in bad weather.
7. There are rocky ledges on Reculver Sand including Black Rock, which dries. A stranded wreck, marked by a buoy (port hand), lies to the S of the channel on the drying line of the coastal shoals.
8. Ray Sand Channel leads from the W end of Swire Hole to Whitaker Channel. There is a bar, which dries, at the SW end of the channel between it and Whitaker Channel, restricting the channel to small craft. The channel should only be used with local knowledge.
9. 
The wreck of SS Richard Montgomery (51º 28' N, 0º 47'·2E), which was sunk in 1944 while carrying a cargo of explosives is marked by four light-buoys (special) and twelve buoys (special). The wreck, which shows masts and superstructure, but masts only at HW, lies 1½ cables N of the channel and 2 miles NE of Garrison Point.
