Divers deliver power to keep remote island monks smelling of roses

摘要

Swathe Services of Cornwall in the UK recently undertook the pre-lay survey of a 4km submarine power cable installation between Tenby and Caldey Island in Wales, assisting part of a larger operation to upgrade power supplies to a remote island community of monks in Wales, carried out by Falmouth Divers.rnCaldey Island has been inhabited by monks since the 6th Century and much of the medieval priory of the Benedictine monks of the 12th century is still standing. Caldey is now occupied by a small community of Cistercian monks who although living a contemplative life have managed to bring themselves financial independence with the development of a perfume industry and the advent of tourism.
