Lifeboat Rescue
- When
- 27 September 1875
- Where
- Mersey River
Lifeboats from Liverpool and New Brighton responded to the wreck, rescuing crew members who jumped or were roped into the boats.
The Liverpool lifeboat came alongside the wreck, allowing some crew to jump aboard while others were roped in. The New Brighton lifeboat turned around when it became apparent everyone had been rescued. The Liverpool boat navigated through debris to return to the dock, forced to row home due to weather conditions preventing a tow.
