Britain's Strangest Lighthouse Reveals WW1 Secret

We're sailing to a special lighthouse today, originally part of a top secret World War 1 project designed to resist German Submarine threats. This mysterious project, was so secret that even the workers didn't what they were building so they became known as the "Mystery Towers," they cost millions and in the end, never used for their original purpose. It's a fascinating piece of history, I'm sure you'll be intrigued by this historical landmark. The Nab tower is considered one of Britain's "oddest" lighthouses and serves as a vital navigational aid in the Solent.  Key moments: 0:00 - Leaving Portsmouth Harbour 2:15 - First sight of the Mystery Tower 4:30 - The History of the Nab Tower 8:00 - Sailing close to the structure Channel -Sailing Zephyr IV -    / @davesailing   Sources of information about the nab tower :- Towers Of War (1920) Towing the tower out to sea    • Towers Of War  (1920)   Nab Lighthouse (1954) Change over of lighthouse keepers.    • Nab Lighthouse (1954)   Excellent description and pictures of the Mystery Towers, Well worth a look https://thecretefleet.com/f/a-pictori...
