RAMSGATE, (Kent) in the Isle of Thanet, in St. Lawrence p. 5 m. from Margate, is a member of the T. and port of Sandwich.
It is the first place of note, S. S. W. from the North-Foreland towards Sandwich; an act of Pt. was lately passed, whereby
its harbour is like to be rendered capable of receiving 200 sail of ships; and a new pier is erected, capable of resisting
the strongest winds, or the most raging sea that tumbles in from the Downs.
