A seamark (also known in its two word form “sea mark”) is a general name for a navigational mark that helps to guide maritime traffic into harbours, as well as identifying positions of channels or hazards (such as wrecks) in shallow waters. The seamark itself, together with other items of marine equipment and detritus, such as barrels, driftwood and iron grates help lend Hoodless’s dockside an other-worldy, almost extra-terrestrial air.
