A higher quality upload of Adam Taylor's talk that was livestreamed on 3rd July 2024. Adam is a keen canoeist who has paddled in pristine waters all over the world from Canada to Finland, but the area he most likes to explore is the muddy marshland of the Medway estuary, and this was the subject of his talk. Nowadays it seems a quiet place with its own distinctive flora and fauna, but in the past it was very much a working region, made famous in Dickens’s Great Expectations’, and ghosts of that time remain, many now half submerged. Ships would line up here on the way to port and passengers would at times be quarantined on the islands. Those who died were buried there and to this day there is a cemetery island that releases occasional coffins as the coastline erodes. There are the ruins of ambitious forts, a site that was once a pub and the wreck of a First World War German submarine.
