On 10th February 1871 a storm of fatal severity swept into the calm
coastal port of Bridlington Bay. With it rode dozens of helpless
ships and it fell to local lifeboat crews to brave the implacable
sea in attempts to save the floundering crews. Many of those heroic
souls never returned to shore. In his detailed examination of the
events of The Great Gale of 1871, Richard M Jones shows the horror
of the disaster alongside the selfless heroism of those rescuers.
Among the individual stories of the storm is that of the Harbinger
lifeboat and its crews' ultimate sacrifice for their fellow
sailors. The Great Gale of 1871 presents the events and the legacy
of that fateful day.
