Most of the existing gallery photos don't seem very illuminating (and some hardly show the subject at all). But what is needed is one of the Viking boat. Davidships ( talk) 15:29, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
While the ship may be referred to in the popular media as a replica 'Viking' ship, it's commemorating the landing of Hengist and Horse, two quasi-legendary figures who are supposed to have existed in the 5th Century several hundred years before the Viking phenomena began and who are considered key figures in the Anglo-Saxon, not the later Viking, invasion and settlement of Britain. I have therefore made some changes to the body of the article to reflect this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.54.175 ( talk) 18:12, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
The claim that "The Bay has extreme tides, similar to those of the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, Canada," strikes me as extremely improbable. However, I only believe this through personal observation (to me it seems like only a couple of metres, unlike the 7 m extreme in Nova Scotia), so I have not touched the article. But this big claim should be referenced - if this cannot be done then I think it should be removed. MalcolmStory21 ( talk) 20:20, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
The date in the hovercraft photo caption looks wrong. It says July 1986, but the article states that hovercraft operated here from 1969 to 1982. Bcp67 ( talk) 21:58, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
