Now then, Dave; let's see how good your detective skills are. shall we?
D'you recognise this one? At low tide, it stands on a small reef outcropping.....and at high tide, it stands alone, sticking up out of the water like a solitary spear of ancient masonry.

The only clues I'll give you are these:-
Any ideas? Points will be awarded for accuracy...

The only clues I'll give you are these:-
- It "guards" a huge area of submerged reefs that have been fought over, by different nations, for centuries.....somewhere on this side of "the Pond".
- More lives have been lost in this area than anywhere else offshore in Europe in literally thousands of years...
- Oh, and somewhere in this wilderness is a building considered, apparently, to be the utter, southernmost outcrop of the British Isles..!
Any ideas? Points will be awarded for accuracy...

I've visited most of the Lights along the Maine coast and one in N.H. and Mass also. But never followed the British lighthouses.

Well, I came across this one last night when exploring the new Google Earth webapp (which is replacing the Google Earth 'Pro' desktop client in the next couple of years). I read about it, many years ago, in a novel about 'ghost ships' and the very last German soldiers to surrender after WWII ended....but this was the first time I'd actually seen pictures of it.
.....by the author Hammond Innes.
It's called the "Phare du Senequet", and guards a barely-submerged plateau of reefs off the south-eastern tip of Jersey, the largest of the group known as the Channel Islands. These are located in the "bay" between the peninsula which is the home of the French town of Cherbourg - one of the major cross-Channel ferry transit ports, prior to the building of the Channel Tunnel (or 'Chunnel', as it's known locally) - and the northern coastline of Brest.
Here's a short GIF, just to clarify the location...

To quote Normandy tourist information:-
The reef plateau is known as the "The Minkies" ("Les Minquiers" in French). The whole area has been a menace to shipping since time immemorial, which you can read more about here:-
I know you've a long-standing interest in these things, so.....I thought I'd let you know about yet another one!
Mike.
