Summary

[edit]
Description
English: HM Fort Roughs a.k.a. Principality Of Sealand Photographed from Wolsey Gardens, Felixstowe, near the top of Convalescent Hill.

"HM Fort Roughs was one of several World War II installations, that were designed by Guy Maunsell and known collectively as His Majesty's Forts or as Maunsell Sea Forts, and its purpose was to guard the port of Harwich, Essex. The naval fort is situated on Rough Sands, a sandbar located approximately six miles from the coast of Suffolk and eight miles from the coast of Essex.

It later became a self-proclaimed, unrecognised state called the Principality of Sealand."
