Wrecked on the south coast. Rocket shot from cliff top to crew of fishing boat
Wrecked on the south coast.
Rocket shot from cliff top to crew of fishing boat on rocks near Newhaven.
The Eastbourne fishing boat Friscary, owned by Mr Frank French of Eastbourne, went ashore on the rocks near Peacehaven, on the south coast of England, not far from Newhaven. In response to signals of distress the Newhaven lifeboat went out and failed to find the vessel in the dense fog. After two hours the fog lifted and rocket apparatus was mounted on the cliff and a line was shot aboard. The vessel was badly holed and it is believed to be impossible to salvage her.
