Many ships were wrecked on the Doom Bar, despite the installation of mooring rings and capstans on the cliffs and quarrying away part of Stepper Point to improve the wind.
Mooring rings were still there in 1824, and around 1830, three capstans at the base of the cliffs and bollards along the cliffs, by which means boats could be warped safely past the bar were installed.
The report recommended initial expenditure of £20,000 to cut down the outer part of Stepper Point, which, in conjunction with the capstans, bollards and mooring rings, would significantly reduce the risk to shipping.
Both London's South Bank and Ilkley Moor in Yorkshire will ring to the sounds of a "symphony of sirens" by musician Jez Colborne; the east Midlands will see 10,000 ceramic flowers bloom, in an installation by Paul Cummins; while artist Susan Austin's underwater wheelchair will make its way through the swimming pools of the south west.
