The old "Ship Hotel" at Bankside was a Cobb's house trading in the 1830s, when the artist J. M. W. Turner was living nearby with Mrs Sophia Booth. Turner may have frequented the inn, which was removed in the Fort Hill redevelopment.

The new, weather-boarded "Ship Inn" has a commemorative plaque on its wall to Joseph Turner, who painted many seascapes of Margate.

The "Ship Inn" now the lifeboat station for Margate.
