All the crew were rescued using a breeches buoy by the local Rocket Brigade. The ships cats (x2) were rescued before the Captain. :) The boilers are still visible at low tide.

I think the scenes of James Herriot's Yorkshire are stuck in my mind and I forget that there is a coastline.<br />I'm way behind in commenting on blogs, but have wanted to tell you that your post for the letter "T" prompted me to find The TALE of Robin Lyth at Alibris. I now have the book in my 'soon to be read' pile and look forward to it.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520893128143413982.post-11817526568030698612011-06-22T17:02:08.304-07:002011-06-22T17:02:08.304-07:00Might be frightening when that event was happenin...Might be frightening when that event was happening.<br /><br />Would love you to peek at my <a href="http://www.spice-up-your-life.net/2011/06/welcome-p365-170.html" rel="nofollow">ABC</a>.

The old lighthouse would have been there though because it was built in the 1600's, but we are told that it was never used. There is a slight shadow to the right of the lighthouse and that may be it. Sometimes the the 'new lighthouse looks too far inland, but that's because of the little coves at the end of the headland. It is actually built close to the edge of one of the coves -- Silex Bay, also known as Selwicks Bay.<br /><br />I hasten to add that Flamborough does have some wonderful summer days with less rain than many parts of Yorkshire.<br /><br />Autumn Leaves: That's exactly what I used to do, accompanied by my dog, Rip.ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520893128143413982.post-70280409237415902762011-06-22T12:12:57.963-07:002011-06-22T12:12:57.963-07:00What a wild and wonderful childhood, Chris.
