Loss of the Brig "Vine", of Bristol, at Whitby, [North Yorkshire], 1850....the vessel...struck upon the sands, about 200 yards from the entrance to the harbour. The crew left the vessel by the life-boat, except the master, Captain John Honey who, we understand, is part owner, who refused to leave the vessel. As the tide rose, the wind...increased to a complete gale, and the sea ran very heavily, which soon stove in one side of the vessel and dismasted her...after four or five unsuccessful attempts to near the wreck, the master was got into the boat in an exhausted and almost lifeless state. On reaching the shore...The crowd was so anxious to get a sight of a man who appeared to value life so little, that it was with the greatest difficulty he could be got to a house of refuge without injury, several persons being thrown down in the crowd and trampled on'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the aftermath of the tragic loss of the Brig Vine, a Bristol-registered merchant vessel, in Whitby harbor, North Yorkshire, in 1850. The photograph, taken from an unknown creator, depicts the wreckage of the ship as it lies stranded on the sandy shore, with the harbor entrance visible in the background. The vessel had struck the sandbanks approximately 200 yards from the harbor entrance, leaving the crew with no choice but to abandon ship. The crew managed to escape in the lifeboat, except for the master, Captain John Honey, who, despite being a part-owner of the vessel, refused to leave. As the tide rose and the wind picked up, the Brig Vine was battered by the elements, with one side being stove in and the mast being dismasted. Despite the dangerous conditions, several attempts were made to rescue the determined captain. However, the crowd's eagerness to witness the sight of a man who seemed to value his life so little proved to be a hindrance. The master was eventually rescued, but not without injury, as several people were trampled in the chaotic scene. The Loss of the Brig Vine was a poignant reminder of the dangers faced by seafarers during the 19th century, and the sacrifices they made in the pursuit of their livelihoods. This haunting image serves as a testament to their courage and resilience in the face of adversity.
