Someone should get the answer early. But the subject quickly becomes an interesting topic of discussion that we rarely think about...

Given the concentration of dots round Portsmouth and Southampton... are they floating turds?

(more likely to be shipwreck sites)

I was rather hoping for a bit of NSC sarcasm and wit before we settled on the correct answer.... :lolol:

Concentration of private (commercial?) sea-going vessels?

Edit: although, I keep being drawn to the cluster around Normandy - something to do with D-Day? Though what the load around Land's End would have to do with that stumps me.

Edit 2: shipwrecks!!

West is BEST
Probably shipping lanes or sea trade routes. Back when all commercial travel was undertaken by sea , maps were drawn around the sea not the land.

No-one (funnies aside) has fully got the answer yet.

Although one of the funnies is closest...

The arse end of Hangleton
It's a record of plastic spotted on in the sea ? There is an official name for it but I can't remember it at the moment , flotsam ?

I don't think they're wrecks or there would be more of a concentration around headlands like the Lizard. I'd love to say whale or dolphin sightings bu they go a long way up the Thames

huge numbers off the Cornish coast - jellyfish? but again wouldn't be up the Thames. dunno

oh it is shipwrecks. Oh well there you go. That was my first thought before being too clever about it.

I'm intrigued why so many are out in the sea outside Mount's Bay but less on the rocks of the Lizard or Cape Cornwall itself. But thats maybe because all the dots superimpose
