Harmsworth`s Universal Encyclopaedia 1920s - Social History. Chart of the dangerous sandbanks off the east coast of Kent, England, UK. Goodwin Sands is a 10-mile-long sandbank at the southern end of the North Sea lying 6 miles off the Deal coast. Notable shipwrecks include HMS Stirling Castle in 1703, VOC ship Rooswijk in 1740, the SS Montrose in 1914, and the South Goodwin Lightship, which broke free from its anchor moorings during a storm in 1954. Several naval battles have been fought nearby, including the Battle of Goodwin Sands in 1652 and the Battle of Dover Strait in 1917.
