    Tips

    The coastguard observation stations were closed by the government in 1992. This also ended the surveillance of the coast of England. In 1994 a fishing boat sank off Carrick Luz, about 6 km north of here. No one saw the boat sink and both fishermen on board drowned.

    The desire to do something to improve safety at sea returned. A group of volunteers came together to reopen the observation station in late 1994. Following this beginning, the National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) was formed and there are now over 50 similar observation stations along the coast of Great Britain run by volunteers.

    At Bass Point a team of about 35 trained observers keep watch 365 days a year.
