The wreck of the 'Forfarshire', 7 September 1838: survivors in Grace Darling's boat
Hand-coloured lithograph. The full title reads: 'Heroic rescue of the surviving passengers and crew of the Forfarshire steamboat by Grace Darling & her Father on the morning of the 7th September 1838.' This is the famous incident in which Grace assisted her father, keeper of the Farne lighthouse to rescue passengers: here the Darlings' coble is working its way back toward the lighthouse with survivors. She is at the stern steering with a sculling oar. The image is one of a pair with PAH0198 after Carmichael, a prolific north-eastern marine artist from Newcastle-on-Tyne.
