"The Ramsgate Life-boat: Morning after a Heavy Gale - Weather Moderating"...by E.W Cooke. R.A. 1864 Creator: J Greenaway
"The Ramsgate Life-boat: Morning after a Heavy Gale - Weather Moderating" - from the picture by E.W Cooke. R.A. 1864. Engraving of a painting. The crews of a pilot-boat and life-boat of Ramsgate, after hearing at daybreak signal-guns from the Goodwin floating light- vessel, have communicated with it, and now bear up for a water-logged Indiaman, the crew and passengers of which have perished during the night, when their boats were knocked to pieces. The Captain, who would not desert his ship, is rescued by the lifeboat just before the vessel founders on the North Sandhead of the Goodwin. The life-boat...is the Ramsgate "self-righting" boat, one built on the plan of those of the Life-boat Institution. This is the same boat which...performed a most important service by saving a hundred and twenty persons, being the whole of the crews and passengers of the emigrant-ship Fusilier, and the ship Demerara, wrecked on the Girdler Sands, off Margate... To be sixteen hours hard at work in the raging waves, fighting a December hurricane, while tons of water are now and then dashed over the boat, and the soaked clothes of the men are frozen stiff by the icy wind - that is a performance which we cannot sufficiently praise'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
A poignant moment captured in this photograph, "The Ramsgate Life-boat: Morning after a Heavy Gale - Weather Moderating," taken by E.W. Cooke R.A. in 1864 and engraved by J. Greenaway. The scene depicts the aftermath of a devastating storm that ravaged the coast, leaving destruction and loss in its wake.
In this moment, we see the Ramsgate lifeboat crew tending to their duties with dedication and bravery as they rescue survivors from a waterlogged Indiaman shipwrecked on the North Sandhead. The "self-righting" boat, designed by the Life-Boat Institution, has proven its worth once again in saving countless lives.
The photograph vividly conveys the harsh conditions faced by these brave men - battling against raging waves and icy winds for 16 hours straight - a testament to their unwavering commitment to duty. The Ramsgate lifeboat's heroic actions have saved over 120 people, including those from the emigrant ships Fusilier and Demerara wrecked on Margate's Girdler Sands.
This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of these unsung heroes who risk their lives at sea to save others. Their selfless acts are truly worthy of praise.
