Tower of Refuge的点评
点评：The waters of Douglas Bay can be dangerous if there are easterly storms and in the past, there have been many shipwrecks here. Sir William Hilary (founder of the RNLI) was responsible for the building of the Tower of Refuge in Douglas Bay after the Steam Packet St George foundered on Conister Rock in 1830. He realised it was too far to swim to the shore and the Tower of Refuge in was built in 1832 on a partially submerged reef. It offered shelter and provisions for sailors awaiting rescue. The tower originally had a bell to summon help and a supply of bread and fresh water.
Modelled on a C13th castle, apparently it got its name from a poem by William Wordsworth in which he wrote: 'A Tower of Refuge built for the else forlorn...'
Admire from the Promenade. Although It is possible to walk to the tower at very low spring tides, the tide comes in very quickly and visitors can be stranded....

翻译：如果有东风风暴，道格拉斯湾的水域会很危险，过去这里曾发生过许多沉船事故。 Steam Packet St George 于 1830 年在 Conister Rock 沉没后，William Hilary 爵士（RNLI 的创始人）负责在道格拉斯湾建造避难所塔。 Refuge in 建于 1832 年，位于部分淹没的礁石上。它为等待救援的水手提供住所和给养。塔楼最初有一个召唤帮助的铃铛以及面包和淡水的供应。
它以第 13 世纪的城堡为蓝本，显然它的名字来自威廉华兹华斯的一首诗，他在诗中写道：“一座为其他孤独者建造的避难所......”
从长廊欣赏。虽然可以在非常低的春季潮汐时步行到塔楼，但潮汐来得很快，游客可能会被困......
