Hand-coloured lithograph. The full title reads : 'Wreck of the Forfarshire Steamer on one of the Rocks of the Ferne [Farne] Islands as she appeared at Day-break on the morning of the 7th September 1838'. This is the famous incident in which Grace Darling assisted her father, keeper of the Farnelightouse to rescue passengers: here their coble is shown approaching the ship from which survivors are on a makeshift raft sheltered under the bow. The image is one of a pair with PAH0199 after Carmichael, a prolific north-eastern marine artist from Newcastle-on-Tyne.
