I've added quite a bit of material, mainly derived from books and websites (main source cited). I've got various books and records about the history of the fort-based pirate stations, but they're all safely stored away where I can't find them (sigh).  Lee M 01:16, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Should these additional and lesser known offshore fortifications be mentioned in the article, or linked as being relevant to the topic?

message: A map of the locations of these would be very helpful.
Especially to readers not highly familiar with UK geography for whom "Thames Estuary" is a bit vague.

message: I removed the following text that was added without reference. The phrase 'sea air overdose' also doesn't show up anywhere beyond this article: 
:Famously, David Bowie occupied the army forts for much of the 1990s until he suffered a sea air overdose and was admitted to South End hospital in the UK.  Bowie never returned. In 2002 some of his possessions left in the fort were briefly advertised on the online auction site Ebay but were quickly removed, actioned by Bowie's lawyers.  Items included a monocular, underwear and a merkin.

message: Having given the history, it would be good to sum up what we have now, then if it be known, what any projected future for them is.

message: It would be helpful to have example dimensions of a sea fort, so the scale of this endeavor can be appreciated.  71.239.87.100 (talk) 17:04, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

message: Are there are any particular areas that need additional citations ? I didn't find any particular 'citation required' notes.  I've been scouring the Frank Turner books recently, so may have sources for some of the claims.  Im also planning to visit the national archives in the near future, so may be able to look into specifics. Rasathus (talk) 22:05, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article needs additional citations for verification 

message: I note that the article is a bit inconsistent at the moment with some of the forts having their own pages, and others only a section on this one.  
Are there any particular opinions as to the best approach to structuring these ?
I've recently come into possession of a number of books giving extensive dates of the construction of the original towers, there grounding and service details.  The books also reference a number of articles from the national archives which I plan to go see.  I'd like to look at restructuring these articles to include some of the information, but wanted to avoid stepping on any toes. Thanks Rasathus (talk) 22:13, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
