About Southampton Water


Southampton Water is a tidal estuary north of the Solent and the Isle of Wight in England. The city of Southampton lies at its most northerly point. Along its salt marsh-fringed western shores lie the New Forest villages of Hythe and "the waterside", Dibden Bay, and the Esso oil refinery at Fawley.

Mar 6,2022 9:29 pm

A speedboat skipper has been cleared of manslaughter after the death of a Teenage Girl during a " thrill ride".

Passenger Emily Lewis, 15, suffered fatal injuries when the Seadogz rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) hit a buoy in Southampton Water on 22 August 2020.

The Jury did find Michael Lawrence guilty of failing to maintain a proper lookout and failing to maintain a safe speed.

A verdict has yet to be reached for Seadogz owner Michael Howley.
