EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a momentous event in the history of the Isle of Wight. Taken from the Nab Lightship in September 1920, it showcases the awe-inspiring "mystery tower" being submerged into position just 200 yards away. This imposing structure, made entirely of steel and concrete, was transported all the way from Shoreham without any mishap. The mystery surrounding this tower adds an air of intrigue to its purpose. With its robust construction and strategic location near Nab Rocks, speculation arises about its role in defense or sentry duties during that era. As it takes over responsibilities previously held by the lightship, one can only imagine what secrets lie within those sturdy walls. The sheer scale of this engineering feat is evident as you gaze upon this print. The towering structure stands tall against the backdrop of a vast sea, symbolizing man's ability to conquer nature through ingenuity and determination. Preserved by Daily Mirror's Memory Lane Prints collection, this image offers us a glimpse into a significant milestone for both technology and maritime history. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' relentless pursuit to protect their shores while also showcasing their remarkable craftsmanship. Whether you are fascinated by lighthouses or captivated by mysteries waiting to be unraveled, this photograph will undoubtedly transport you back to an era where strength met mystery on the Isle of Wight's rugged coastline.
