	Guide till Ramsgate : VisitBritain
		Its maritime past is waiting to be discovered, too, in a specially dedicated museum in the seafront clockhouse.

		Beyond the eastern harbour wall Ramsgate does a double-take and presents an expanse of golden sands for guests who want to indulge in the time-honoured pleasures of the seaside such as kite flying, windsurfing, swimming or just relaxing under the sun.

	THE STEAM MUSEUM ~ Steam Tug 'CERVIA' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		ITL chose Ramsgate as their home port from January 1977 and, like Watkins before them, refits to Cervia, and other vessels in ITL's growing steam tug fleet, brought about a resurgence of commercial ship repairing, and this giving a major boost to the local economy for many years.
		Ramsgate Harbour's main slipway, which had seen little use since the early 1960's, was recomissioned for a major refit of the tug in 1977, with the enthusiastic support of Thanet District Council.
		It was quite a transition, however, from museum aspirations to becoming a fully fledged commercial operation, particularly in the very hard-nosed world of marine towage, and so the partners decided, by the beginning of 1977, to seperate the two operations.
