Touching the Tide worked with the University of Southampton to complete the mapping of this lost underwater city. The slice of map above shows the Dunwich 2000 land line and the town as it was in 1587 and 1826 digitized with overlaid aerial photography.

Dunwich people must have been driving real polluting SUV’s.

We visited Ephesus, in Turkey, to see the famous sites. One place was "Mary's house." When St. John, the youngest of the Apostles, left Israel to spread the Good News, he took Mary with him. She was fairly old by then, by their standards.
Anyway, the house was very small, simple and made of rocks/stones.

My point was that Ephesus was MILES inland but USED to be a sea port. The land between Ephesus and the Aegean Sea had filled in between THEN and now.
So, the English fill-in seems to be normal for this earth.

When did SONAR become a novelty?

[IronJack]

You don’t even WANT to know what HP Lovecraft found in Dunwich ...

[Moltke]

a DIDSON sonar -- a novel system that uses sound instead of light

Uh, all SONAR uses sound...Sound Navigation And Ranging. Duh.

This is an area that I would love to do some metal-detecting. At Grey Friar's Monastery it's said that locals saw coffins and bodies hanging out of the cliffs after heavy storms. Many old coins have been recovered from the cliffs below the monastery.

The same thing happened to Cape May, NJ.

The coastline of this 1886 map is not the coastline of today by a long shot.

Sounds pretty cool. 😎

Makes sense that a city would be on the shores when the sea was the major method of transport. Surprised more “cities” weren’t eroded away.
