Fascinating maritime history

The Falkland Islands have a fascinating maritime history, primarily because of the Islands location, close to one of the great trading routes of the world, Cape Horn. More than 100 shipwrecks are known to lie around the Falklands' rocky shores and a number of historically significant vessels condemned and converted for use as storage hulks are still visible.

World War II
When Germany invaded Poland on 1 September 1939 the world went to war for the second time, just 21 years after the war to end all wars. The scope of this new war was not yet apparent. Without doubt this was to prove to be the most expensive and extensive war in history.

Camber Railway
The Camber railway was a single line of 24-inch gauge approximately 3 1/2 miles in length and was built during 1915 and 1916. It remained in use until the late 1920's. The railway was required when in World War One the Admiralty installed a new communications system, a powerful spark transmitter with an array of high aerials that could be seen to dominate the horizon to the west of town.
