Shipwreck of "The Northern Belle": the Crew of "The Mary White", in their Life-boat, drawn through Broadstairs, 1857. Lifeboatmen saved the lives of the crew of a US ship that was wrecked off the coast of Kent. '...the Mary White was dragged upon her truck by three horses into Broadstairs. In the boat sat her gallant crew. Tied to an American oar was the American standard which was so recently hoisted as a signal of distress. The tattered flag fluttered over the broken bows of the Mary White. It was thus that the boat passed through the streets of Broadstairs, amidst the joyous shouts of the inhabitants of the town'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
