Description: | This picture shows the Cullercoats lifeboat being hauled from the sea after a dramatic rescue on New Year's Day 1861. The ship the 'Lovely Nellie', had been wrecked in a snowstorm near Whitley Bay. The lifeboat had to be towed three miles along the coast to reach the scene, as the storm prevented it being launched at Cullercoats. One version of the event says that the boat had been hauled by women, but a newspaper report at the time records that it was pulled by horses. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement living in the North East events art North East artists emergency services men women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
