Just to confuse the issue.

Here on Portland Dorset we have a floating prison ship. I don't know what it was called in the USA, where it came from about 8 years ago - but it was named Her Majesty's Prison Weare (HMP Weare).

It was named after the rough land and plant growth that forms underneath the the island's cliffs. Hence we have East Weare, West Weare and Cheyne Weares. These are known as the Weares and my dog likes to walk on them very much.
