1914.

It happened just off Whitby. A hospital ship went down with virtually all hands, I think 50 odd were rescued. Part of my family are fishermen based out of Whitby harbor - they run three of the last 6 trawlers based there now. They volunteered for the lifeboats if they were not at sea.

It’s a good book, well worth the look at. A mix of history and art.

Thanks for the info. Always wanted to go to Whitby, too. And Scarborough...
