Viking ship weather-vane Broadstairs. Isle of Thanet. Kent. England

In 1949 a copper Viking ship weather-vane was made for the clock tower by C Hodson of the Reading Street garage to commemorate the landing of the viking ship Hugin at Broadstairs in that same year. In 1975 the tower was burnt down due to a electrical fault, but was rebuilt by apprentices at Thanet Technical Collage to commemorate Queen Elizebeth II's Silver Jubilee
