The International Fisheries Exhibition: Grace Darling's boat, 1883. Creator: Unknown
The International Fisheries Exhibition: Grace Darling's boat, 1883. On Sept. 5, 1838, the Forfarshire, a steam-vessel...left Hull...a furious northerly gale sprang up...she was driving through a heavy sea, right down upon a most dangerous reef of rocks...called the Farne and Staple rocks or islands. On one of these is...the Longstone Lighthouse. On that terrible night it was tenanted by three remarkable persons - William Darling, his wife, and their daughter, Grace. At midnight the girl heard the cries of drowning men and women, coming down the wind from the Hawker's rock. The Forfarshire had drifted helplessly upon this rock, had broken her back, and two thirds of her crew and passengers were drowned, or killed by being cast upon the rocks...Grace persuaded her father to launch their little coble, and render such aid as they could to those in such fearful peril...such was the enthusiastic energy of this girl of twenty, that she not only overcame the scruples raised by her father's greater knowledge and experience, but persuaded him to accept herald and to undertake this errand of mercy. Her mother she also persuaded to help launch the boat. In spite of wind and sea they reached the wreck, and brought back to the lighthouse nine persons'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
