…what seafarers and ships coming to our shores do all the time. Trinity House is the lighthouse and buoys authority for England and Wales (Northern Ireland and Scotland have their own authorities), and the principal reason why that 95% of all trade by volume that we must have can get to us by sea. Why? Because our coastline is fundamentally highly dangerous. Anyone who has seen the jagged fangs of rocks like The Manacles off Cornwall rise hissing out of a dark and turbulent sea, can tell that… just one example of thousands among all coastal approaches to the UK. Trinity House maintain buoys and lighthouses, mark wrecks, offer deep-sea pilotage and much, much more. And have done so for over 500 years! Now, we’re making a film for them about the outstanding training opportunities they offer would-be seafarers.
