A range of work was done, with provisions and supplies being taken out to ships anchored in the Downs, and the Post Office paying for mail to be taken out or landed. Ballast (in the form of shingle loaded from the beach) would be sold. Passengers were taken to and from moored ships. It was not unusual for a ship in the Downs to lose her anchor – either slipping the cable in an emergency or if a cable or anchor chain parted, thereby providing two sources of work for the boatmen.<sup id="cite_ref-Leather_1989_9-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Leather_1989-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Pages: 113–115">: 113–115 </span></sup><sup id="cite_ref-March_1970v2_8-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-March_1970v2-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Pages: 55–72">: 55–72 </span></sup> </p><p>First, the Downs had to be kept as clear as possible of the obstruction that lost gear presented, otherwise the anchors of other ships could become entangled in them and prevent weighing. In 1607, two boatmen were awarded £30 a year for sweeping for and recovering lost anchors, with substantial numbers being salvaged. In the three years from 1866, over 600 anchors were swept up from the Downs – at that time the <a href="/wiki/Board_of_Trade" title="Board of Trade">Board of Trade</a> paid for this to be done.<sup id="cite_ref-Leather_1989_9-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Leather_1989-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Pages: 113–115">: 113–115 </span></sup> <sup id="cite_ref-March_1970v2_8-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-March_1970v2-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Pages: 64, 89">: 64, 89 </span></sup> </p><p>Secondly, a ship that had lost her anchor would need to replace it.

In ordinary weather, this charge would be the fair cost of the gear sold. In severe weather, provision of an anchor would be classed as salvage, since it often prevented the loss of the ship. After the <a href="/wiki/Merchant_Shipping_Act_1854" title="Merchant Shipping Act 1854">Merchant Shipping Act</a> of 1854, the salvage claims became more fairly assessed than in prior years and substantial payments could be made to boatmen who launched into strong winds to provide this service.

The boats were all smashed or burnt - so depriving the boatmen of a means to make a living.

The two largest were the Deal luggers. In the early part of the century, these were three-masted vessels, with a dipping <a href="/wiki/Lug_sail" title="Lug sail">lug</a> on the fore and main masts and a standing lug <a href="/wiki/Mast_(sailing)" title="Mast (sailing)">mizzen</a>. A <a href="/wiki/Jib" title="Jib">jib</a> was set on a <a href="/wiki/Bowsprit" title="Bowsprit">bowsprit</a> and the mizzen sheeted to a long <a href="/wiki/Outrigger" title="Outrigger">outrigger</a>. The mainmast could be dispensed with to give more working room in the boat or in the winter, so it was common for just two masts to be used. The mainmast ceased to be used altogether in the 1840s. The "first class" luggers (often called "forepeakers") would be up to 38 feet (12 metres) long, with a beam of 12 ft 3 in (3.73 m), carrying six tons of ballast in a hull that weighed three-and-a-half tons. They were <a href="/wiki/Clinker_(boat_building)" title="Clinker (boat building)">clinker built</a> and had an enclosed forepeak in which the crew could shelter or sleep – but otherwise these were undecked, open boats. It was these larger luggers that would carry a replacement anchor out to a ship in the Downs. The smaller luggers were called "cats", able to do most of the work of the larger boats, but instead of the enclosed forepeak they had a removable cabin that could be set up between the thwarts. There were 21 first class luggers operating from Deal in 1833 and 15 cats. In the same year, 54 four or six oared galleys worked from Deal. These were lighter boats of between 21 and 30 ft (6.4 and 9.1 m) in length. They could be sailed as well as rowed, setting a dipping lug on a single mast. They were used for taking passengers out to ships in the Downs and for boarding and landing pilots.<sup id="cite_ref-March_1970v2_8-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-March_1970v2-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Pages: 72–74, 82. 101">: 72–74, 82. 101 </span></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Leather_1989_9-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Leather_1989-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Pages: 117–122, 139">: 117–122, 139 </span></sup> </p><p>Luggers were launched bows first down the beach by slipping the chain that ran through the "ruffles" (a hole in the back of the keel) and travelled at gathering speed down greased wooden skids laid on the shingle. The intent was to gather enough momentum to get through the first waves encountered as the <a href="/wiki/Foresail" title="Foresail">foresail</a> was hoisted. A haul-off rope, led to an anchor set off-shore, could hold the boat up to the waves as the sail was hoisted and help the boat sheer off on the correct tack. If not enough speed was gained, unless the weather was calm, the boat would probably turn parallel to the beach and be smashed by the waves.<sup id="cite_ref-March_1970v2_8-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-March_1970v2-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Pages: 84–86">: 84–86 </span></sup> At high water, the shorter run to the sea increased the difficulty of getting a good launch, as there was less space in which to pick up speed.<sup id="cite_ref-Leather_1989_9-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Leather_1989-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Pages: 116">: 116 </span></sup> When the boat's work was complete, beaching was done by sailing on to the beach in front of the capstan, with a man standing in the sea ready to fasten the capstan rope to the chain strop that went through the front of the keel. For a large lugger it would take 20 or 30 men at the capstan to then haul the boat up the beach and then turn it round ready for the next launch.

From 1861 the complex served as a sizeable Depot for the Royal Marines; latterly it was known in particular for the Royal Marines School of Music, which had moved there in 1930.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Lifeboats">Lifeboats</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Deal,_Kent&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Lifeboats"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Walmer_and_Deal_lifeboats" class="mw-redirect" title="Walmer and Deal lifeboats">Walmer and Deal lifeboats</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Piers">Piers</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Deal,_Kent&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Piers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Deal_Pier" title="Deal Pier">Deal Pier</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Deal_Pier_from_the_south.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/11/Deal_Pier_from_the_south.jpg/370px-Deal_Pier_from_the_south.jpg" decoding="async" width="370" height="241" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/11/Deal_Pier_from_the_south.jpg/555px-Deal_Pier_from_the_south.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/11/Deal_Pier_from_the_south.jpg/740px-Deal_Pier_from_the_south.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4733" data-file-height="3077" /></a><figcaption>The 1957 Deal Pier</figcaption></figure> <p>The seafront at Deal has been adorned with three separate <a href="/wiki/Pier" title="Pier">piers</a> in the town's history. The first, built in 1838, was designed by Sir <a href="/wiki/John_Rennie_(railway_engineer)" class="mw-redirect" title="John Rennie (railway engineer)">John Rennie</a>. After its wooden structure was destroyed in an 1857 gale, it was replaced by an iron pier in 1864. A popular pleasure pier, it survived until the <a href="/wiki/Second_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Second World War">Second World War</a>, when it was struck and severely damaged by a mined Dutch ship, the <i>Nora</i>, in January 1940. This was not the first time the pier had been hit by shipping, with previous impacts in 1873 and 1884 necessitating extensive repairs. </p><p>The present pier, designed by Sir W. Halcrow & Partners, was opened on 19 November 1957 by the <a href="/wiki/Prince_Philip,_Duke_of_Edinburgh" title="Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh">Duke of Edinburgh</a>. Deal's current pier is the last remaining fully intact leisure pier in <a href="/wiki/Kent" title="Kent">Kent</a> and is a Grade II listed building. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Museums">Museums</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Deal,_Kent&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Museums"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Deal has several museums; most are related to Deal's maritime history.
