Evie anti-torpedo netting

Piled up at the back of the beach at the Sands of Evie is a section of anti-torpedo netting.  This is made up of interlocking rings of thick gauge galvanised wire, somewhat like chain mail.

Where it’s above the high water mark it’s still in good condition but where it’s regularly covered by the salt water it’s got a fair amount of surface rust.

The steel hawser that ran across the top is still clearly visible as are a number of joints with shackles attached, I assume this is where the floatation boys were attached.
