Yet all this was only the prologue of the actual Dunwich horror...
Well I suppose it helps remind Humans that, for all our cleverness, there are greater forces that can change what we consider permanent almost overnight. A lesson in humility therefore.
Its not just this harbor. There’s a lot of places in Britain that have been submerged by coastal erosion and/or sudden storm - the last was only about 20 years ago. There’s even quite a strong racial memory of these things - a lot of Celtic legends feature ancient lands sinking. The city of Chester went into decline as a port when the river Dee silted up, and was subsequently replaced by Liverpool as the main west coast seaport.
...not of this wold.

Well played!
Hence the “Dunwich Horror”.
I think you mean Innsmouth. ;-)
The use of “Atlantis” is a bit of a stretch, but I must admit I read the article.
