STS060-94-007 (3-11 Feb 1994) --- The Isle of Wight, over 380 square kilometers, is a diamond-shaped island located off the south coast of England. Separated from the mainland by The Solent, a narrow channel of water, the island is a popular resort area due to its scenery and mild climate. Sediment from English Lowland drainage systems, most notably the River Test, is visible entering The Solent and spilling into the English Channel. At the tip of the linear, northwestward inlet is the mouth of the Test and the city of Southampton, discernible as a small patch of lighter gray. Further east is a series of protected bays which are, from west to east: Portsmouth Harbour, Langstone Harbour, and Chichester Harbour. The city of Portsmouth is the location of Great Britain's chief naval station and arsenal. Portsmouth houses numerous ships of past and present glory. Two of the most notable vessels in Portsmouth are the 104-gun Victory, and the remains of the Mary Rose. The renowned HMS Victory, still carried on active duty rolls of the Royal Navy, and the acting Post Ship of the Royal Navy Base Commander, was built in 1765. The HMS Victory was severely damaged and dismasted in battle. A careful inspection of the original film will show the 175-foot long HMS Victory in this frame. According to NASA geologists it is extremely unusual for Portsmouth to be this cloud-free. It has been a site of some interest for many Space Shuttle missions during the past 10 years.
