What is recorded here
Control Tower, Stansted Airport is a castle, fort or tower in Uttlesford, England. Perhaps watchers climbed the tower to read weather and distance before instruments existed. Maybe the tower still leans slightly toward the sea of clouds it watched. Imagine a keeper marking storms in a ledger while waiting for a ship that never returned.
