CaveCreeper1024's Ocean Monument (Survival 4) was the base of CaveCreeper1024 on the Survival 4 Beagle world of the Dogcraft Server.
History
The monument and Island associated with it were located about nine thousand blocks south of Camp Beagle and were discovered on the launch day of the Beagle world. Originally the base was planned to be much larger and more detailed but due to life off the server CaveCreeper1024 was unable to complete these plans with most of the base staying unfinished.
Ocean Monument
Almost immediately after starting on Beagle and locating a suitable base location CaveCreeper1024 started the process of draining the ocean monument by the normal process of making cells out of sand walls and draining each with the sponges obtained from the ocean monument. Once drained, work began immediately on a guardian farm located in the center with a very similar design to 
iskall85's design from Season 6 of Hermitcraft. After the Guardian farm was constructed CaveCreeper1024 began selling the resources for money and that is where the majority of the estimated 650,000DCD obtained over the course of Survival 4 came from.
While the guardian farm itself was mostly finished from the very beginning, the perimeter around the farm stayed unfinished for over a year. The unfinished perimeter consisted of two walls both made of sand, the first wall went around the ocean monument itself and was the minimum distance needed to not have guardians spawn outside and the second wall was a only a quarter finished design that was supposed to be the main shape of the base. The outer design sand perimeter was later torn down by CaveCreeper1024 in early January 2022.
On 13th January 2022, the removal of the second sand wall was completed. After removal of the second sand wall progress began on replacing the first sand wall with the same cyan glass and gray concrete topped with smooth quartz in the same matching pattern as the guardian farm.
Island
Like the ocean monument located nearby, the island had sat in an unfinished and unappealing state for a long time. Initially though the island was a quite steep small forest biome island. Although CaveCreeper1024 had discovered the island, 
greezy_goblin also wanted to settle nearby. Initially for about a day both parties had possessions on the island until it was determined that sharing the island and nearby monument would be quite difficult and greezy_goblin moved to another nearby island.
Once it was determined who owned the island, CaveCreeper1024 began to clear and flatten the island to provide a suitable workspace for the ongoing nearby ocean monument project. The island ended up becoming home to a huge chest monster which mostly contains storage for item from the nearby guardian farm and an old AFK fishing farm. The island also was wrapped in natural growing sugarcane farm, a nether portal, and an enchantment setup among many other utilitarian items. The island also had a dark history of dogs being sacrificed to obtain Staff heads.
On 13th January 2022, the island was covered in a layer of sand to make the island less of an eyesore and move it into a more complete state. Additionally, plans were made for the future branch line station that would eventually connect to Cordelia Station.
Cordelia Station Branch Line
On 13th January 2022, CaveCreeper1024 asked 
Montenator if he could connect his base to Cordelia Station. This request was approved. Originally CaveCreeper1024 wanted to design a nearby station for the SRN but due to his long absence from the server and the construction of Cordelia Station this idea was left to the dustbin of history.
