HY4909 : Ship Dock - Weethick

taken 12 years ago, near to Kirkwall Airport, Mainland, Orkney Islands, Scotland

Ship Dock - Weethick
Ship Dock - Weethick
Obviously a very old feature, much altered over time.
At low water it seems impossible yet, when I saw it at mid-tide, I could see the possibilities, but for boats not ships.
It is a very deep channel and reaches a long way into the land. See HY4909 : Ship Dock
