Margate

The statue of the lifeboatman looking out to sea at the Nayland Rock is one of Margate’s enduring landmarks. It commemorates the tragic capsize of the lifeboat Friend To All Nations in December 1897, with the loss of nine lives

Margate is a seaside town in Thanet, Kent, England. The town's history is tied closely to the sea and it has a proud maritime tradition. Margate was a "limb" of Dover in the ancient confederation of the Cinque ports. Recent links with conservative and UKIP candidates. Strong local support for Nigel Farage and a very strong Brexit vote.
