EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, we witness a remarkable moment in maritime history: the rescue of nine survivors from the wreck of the Forfarshire paddle steamer off the Northumberland coast in September 1838. The Forfarshire, a passenger transport vessel, had run aground on the treacherous rocks of the Farne Islands, a group of small isles located off the northeastern coast of England. The image captures Lighthouse Keeper Robert Darling and his 18-year-old daughter Grace, who bravely rowed through the stormy waters to reach the stranded vessel. The father-daughter duo displayed incredible courage and quick thinking, saving the lives of nine people amidst the chaos of the shipwreck. The historical significance of this event is noteworthy, as it marked one of the earliest instances of a lighthouse keeper and their family playing a pivotal role in a maritime rescue. The Forfarshire tragedy occurred just a few years after the establishment of the Trinity House, which was responsible for maintaining lighthouses and other navigational aids around the British Isles. This photograph, taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, serves as a poignant reminder of the heroic actions of the Darling family and the vital role lighthouses play in ensuring the safety of seafarers. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the historical context and the human spirit that shines through in the face of adversity. The exact year of this photograph is unknown, but the event itself took place on September 15, 1838. The Forfarshire shipwreck remains an important part of Northumberland's maritime history, and this photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Darling family's bravery.
