Big Anchor Project vs Tidelight

The anchor is an iconic symbol of our maritime past. For over 4,000 years the anchor has been every mariner’s vital item of safety equipment. Sometimes the anchor is the last remaining visible symbol of an incident at sea – whether cut loose in an emergency or marking the last resting place of a shipwreck. The Big Anchor Project is a fun heritage recording initiative which aims to empower public volunteers in the recording of physical anchors around the world. You can download recording forms and the accompanying guidance notes, to record the heritage within your community.

TideLight keeps you connected to the coast. Simply and beautifully. Check tide times and heights at a glance for thousands of beaches worldwide. The app presents accurate tidal data in a clean, easy-to-read format. No clutter, no ads; just the tide when you need it. You don’t need a Tide.lamp to use the app, but if you have one, it brings the data to life. The lamp rises and falls with the tide at your chosen beach, giving you a visual connection to the sea. Wherever you are. With the Tidelight app, you can: • View tide times and heights for over 5,500 global locations • Save your favourite beach for quick access • Set up and control your Tide.lamp via Bluetooth • Customise how the lamp displays tide changes • Schedule lighting times to match your daily routine • Switch between different beach locations easily Designed to reflect the calm ebb and flow of the coast, the Tidelight app is simple, intuitive, and built to complement the Tide lamp. It is a beautifully made, sustainable product designed in the UK. Whether you live by the sea or not, Tidelight helps you connect to the coast in a simple, beautiful way.
