The North Sunderland (Seahouses) self-righting and rowing lifeboat, the Forster Fawsett, was launched at 0440 hrs and rescued the nineteen crewmen, completing the mission and returning to North Sunderland harbour at 1830 hrs that evening. The stranding had torn a massive hole in the ship’s bottom plates and she eventually slipped back and sank in deeper water.
