This simple wreck buoy sitting off the corner of Piper Bravo is all that remains of Piper Alpha. It floats silently as a memorial to the 167 men who died that night in the North Sea and who never returned home to their families. RIP gents.

Until, in 1840, John Hodgson, an unknown Northumbrian clergyman published the LONGEST footnote in history.
