Near Sheerness - old fishing port - with much to remind visitors of it long history as a seafaring town, is well worth exploring. In the High Street is the Guildhall on the site of an earlier courthouse captured by the Dutch in 1667. The artist Hogarth stayed in the town during his famous peregrination through Kent. The All-tide landing provides safe access to the Swale at all states of the tide for visiting yachts and people using the waters. Also visit the Holy Trinity Church, built around 1367 by Edward III, which contains many interesting features such as a very early memorial to Henry Knight, Mayor and Ship Master, who made 27 voyages to Greenland in Elizabethan days.
