Portrait of Chief Officer Engineering, David Mann at his station onboard RFA Argus.
RFA Argus is a Primary Casualty Receiving Ship of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. It has a 100-bed medical complex on board. She acts as a floating medical facility.
The Royal Navy plays an essential part of the UK's military response to support people affected by Hurricanes by providing humanitarian and disaster relief to the Caribbean Islands.
When disasters occur, infrastructure and resources can be crippled, with shortages of food and water supplies and a lack of basic services like sanitation and electricity.
Responding humanely to these life-threatening scenarios is central to the Royal Navy's ethos - we have the skills, know-how and equipment to make a real difference, however extreme the circumstances.
A self-sustaining, flexible force for good - even in the most challenging conditions – The crew will work alongside local emergency services re-establishing law and order, restoring water and power, repairing buildings like hospitals and schools, reopening airstrips and roads.© MOD Crown Copyright / eyevine

However, it wasn't until the late 18th century that a systematic evacuation of the sites got underway.
Fast forward to 1997 and the two towns were officially recognised by Unesco, which described them as "a complete and vivid picture of society and daily life at a specific moment in the past that is without parallel anywhere in the world".
And at one time this was a fitting description for the archaeological site, which has fascinated visitors through the ages.
