The first picture shows the the sailors church without the smack boys home. It has to be before 1881 when the smack boys home was built and after 1878 when the sailors church and sailors home was built.
The next picture shows the small steam boat used by Moses shipyard for towing.
The next picture shows the import export of cars situation probably in the 1960s
And the last picture a cargo boat being either loaded or unloaded.
For a better understanding of the boats and the Harbour I recommend you come here to Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate and have a browse of the various books that we have about the maritime history of Ramsgate.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
