Between these towers at Shivering Sands offshore Maunsell army fort, a single stump is all that remains of one of the towers. In 1963, during heavy fog, a ship wandered off the nearby busy shipping lane collided with the tower resulting in 4 lives lost and the destruction of the tower. In the distance, Kentish Flats wind farm can be seen.
