EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical illustration captures a dramatic rescue mission off the coast of East Runton, Norfolk in 1901. The Norwegian ship Esras had run aground on the treacherous Hasboro sands, losing her anchor and being driven onto the shore by the powerful waves. The crew's lives hung in the balance as they faced imminent danger. In a moment of heroism, the Cromer and Sheringham Rocket Brigades were called to action. Using a Breeches-Buoy, a lifesaving device consisting of a life ring attached to a pulley system, they successfully rescued all members of the stranded crew from their perilous situation. The scene depicted in this print is one of bravery and resilience in the face of adversity. It serves as a reminder of the importance of teamwork and quick thinking in times of crisis at sea. The detailed illustration brings to life this historic event, showcasing both the danger faced by sailors at sea and the dedication of those who risked their own safety to save others. This print is not just a piece of art but also an important historical document that commemorates an incredible feat of courage and determination. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and compassion in times of need.
