Execution Dock was near the shoreline at Wapping and was used for over 400 years to execute pirates, smugglers and mutineers. Captain William Kidd is probably the most famous pirate to meet his death there in 1701. His corpse was put into a gibbet, a metal framed cage, and was left hanging at Tilbury Docks for 3 years. With the last execution in 1830, the exact location of Execution Dock is not known today but it’s claimed to be in the area where two pubs stand, the Prospect of Whitby and the Town of Ramsgate with the latter being the most likely. Round the back of the Prospect of Whitby there is a gallows with a noose hanging from it commemorating the location of Execution Dock.
The execution room at Seodaemun Prison. The preferred method of execution by the Japanese during the occupation: hanging.
Seodaemun Prison was built during the Japanese occupation (1910-1945) to keep Korean "dissidents" -- Koreans who rather valued national independence -- in line. The conditions were pretty barbarous, to say the least, and included torture along with other inhumane treatment.

Summers & Koontz Executions
On 22 May 1865, after the Civil War ended. Capt. George W. Summers, Sgt. I. Newton Koontz, and two other armed veterans of Co. D, 7th Virginia Cavalry, robbed six Federal
cavalrymen of their horses near Woodstock. The horses were returned the next day to the 192d Ohio Volunteer Infantry at Rude’s Hill. Despite assurances that all was forgiven, Lt. Col. Cyrus Hussy, temporarily commanding the 192nd, later ordered the men arrested. The others escaped, but Summers and Koontz were shot without trial here on 27 June. Thirty years later, Capt. Thomas J. Adams and friends erected the nearby monument to commemorate their deaths.
On March 16 2018, Brookings Economic Studies’ Center on Regulation and Markets hosted a discussion on how to create a smarter, more efficient approach to infrastructure. At the start of the event, U.S. Department of Transportation Under Secretary Derek Kan discussed the president’s new infrastructure initiative. Following Kan’s remarks, a panel of experts explored how to implement infrastructure projects that save American taxpayer dollars while delivering the infrastructure investment that Americans deserve. Lastly, Representative Brian Babin (R-TX) spoke about his district's infrastructure policy efforts and gave closing remarks.

In light of the delay: David Motley, the city's PR-rep, made some last-second rescues before the excavator arrived. Many artifacts donated to the Historical Society include signage, hangars, garmet bags, copper panels from the turret, and Stacey Adams shoes that were still on the shelves.
We found a museum that had a bunch of old "video games". This was one of the many there. Sorry about the angle.
