EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a printed broadsheet, showcasing a heartfelt poem dedicated to the families of 20 victims who tragically lost their lives in a lifeboat accident off the coast of South Shields on December 4th, 1849.

The carefully crafted verses within the poem offer solace and support to those left behind, serving as a testament to human resilience during times of immense tragedy. As we examine this historical artifact, it serves as a reminder that newspapers have long played an essential role in documenting both joyous occasions and heart-wrenching events.
