"At Humanity's Call"

from The National Archives UK

Picture Esk said:
They say that the camera doesn`t lie, but this dramatic scene, suggesting the imminent rescue of the crew is far from the truth. The small steamer "Escurial", carrying a load of Welsh coal, had left Cardiff on the morning of Thursday 24 January 1895. By early Friday morning she was sending up distress flares, and by the time dawn broke she was grounded off Portreath on the north coast of Cornwall. A message was sent to the nearest lifeboat at Hayle, and horses pulled the boat the 9 miles to Portreath. This lifeboat was the "F.H.Harrison" a self-righting, 32 foot long boat pulling 10 oars. She arrived at noon, but difficulties were found in launching the boat into the surf, and when eventually she was launched, she turned broadside to the waves and was overturned washed onto the beach. Coastguards tried to rescue the crew by firing rocket-lines to the ship, but most fell short. Of the 20 strong crew 11 were drowned. Most of the crew who were saved, owed their lives to lifeboatmen and locals who linked arms and waded into the surf to rescue them as they were washed ashore.

Yesterdays and todays face are familiar - local faces even to this day. It's fantastic how family faces continue down through the generations like that.
