"The proximity of Deal's shoreline to the notorious Goodwin Sands has made its coastal waters a source of both shelter and danger through the history of sea travel in British waters. The Downs, the water between the town and the sands, provides A NATURALLY SHELTERED ANCHORAGE. Positioned at the eastern end of the English Channel, this is where sailing vessels would wait for a favourable wind, either to proceed into the North Sea, or, heading to the west, down the Channel."

"Les Downs sont une ZONE DE MOUILLAGE de la Manche entre le North Foreland et South Foreland, sur la côte Est du Kent, entre le pas de Calais et l'estuaire de la Tamise.
Protégés à l'Est par les sables du banc de Goodwin, au Nord et à l'Ouest par la côte, les Downs servirent de base permanente aux vaisseaux de guerre patrouillant dans la mer du Nord, mais aussi de rade pour les bateaux sortant du chantier de construction navale de Chatham, formant un mouillage sûr par gros temps." (Wikipédia)

"The Downs is a roadstead, AN AREA OF SHELTERED FAVOURABLE SEA, in the southern North Sea near the English Channel, off the east Kent coast in southern England, between the North and the South Foreland, near the town of Deal. " (Wikipedia)
