Radio Caroline.

Ross Revenge, Radio Caroline, moored in the River Blackwater. Built in Bremerhaven in 1959 as the "Freyr" and after 3 years was sold to Ross Fisheries and re-named "Ross Revenge". Was part of the "Cod Wars" in the 70`s. Retired in 1983 and bought by Radio Caroline and began broadcasting in Aug 1983 and ceased in Nov. 1990. Ran around on the Goodwin Sands and was salvaged. After having broadcast from a number of different locations, now broadcasts, legally, from the River Blackwater to Suffolk and North Essex.
