Statement of Captain Robert Duncan, Master of the Steamship Norham Castle, of London: ‘R.M.S. Norham Castle, February 10, 1895.- Left East London, bound for Natal, on February 6, light north-east wind and moderate sea. At 8 p.m. light breeze and overcast, with continual rain. At 3 a.m. on the 7th instant hard squalls from the south-east, with heavy rain; impossible to see anything ahead, the weather being so thick and dark. Slowed engines, and hauled the ship two points off the land. At 5 a.m. the weather cleared, and daylight coming in, set the engines full speed, and hauled the Norham Castle in towards the land. At 5.50 sighted red-topped hill, North Sand Bluff. At 6.30 sighted a four-masted sailing ship, with all sail set, ashore on the rocks near the south bank of the Impenjali River, lat 30 59 S., lon 30 17 20 E. At 7 a.m. steamed in as close as possible, and stopped the engines. There was a heavy swell from the south-east, breaking clean over the ship, and the crew were observed waving their clothes, some of them clinging to the rigging of the jigger mast, and some to the end of the jib-boom. The Chief Officer, Mr. Whitehead, volunteered to go away in one of the boats and attempt the rescue. Accordingly, a boat was immediately lowered, and proceeded towards the ship, and at 9.30 succeeded, after great difficulty, in taking off eighteen of the crew. It was not until several attempts that a line could be attached and communication made with the ship, which was only effected by the Chief Officer jumping into the sea with a line and swimming towards the ship, being met half way by one of the Apprentices who swam towards him with another line from the ship, when, by joining the two lines in the water, seventeen of the crew were hauled aboard the boat in a very exhausted condition. The Captain of the ship who was washed off the poop, was brought aboard in an exhausted state, his legs being badly bruised, the Chief Officer, Mr. Whitehead, again jumping into the sea and swimming back with him to the boat. A second boat in the meantime had been lowered from the Norham Castle, in charge of the Second Officer, and, transhipping the eighteen rescued men from the first boat, brought them alongside the steamship, while the Chief Officer`s boat continued to try and get off the remainder of the crew, five in number, who were clinging to the jib-boom. But the surf being so heavy, combined with the backwash from the beach and the current, it was not possible to get near them, and the boat returned to the Norham Castle to obtain rockets and a small line with which to endeavour to send a line over the jib-boom. Before, however, she got back to the ship, the five men were either washed off the jib-boom, or dropped into the sea to try and swim ashore, perhaps thinking that the boat might not return to their assistance, and losing heart. Seeing that there was no one left on board the ship, which had parted amidships and was fast breaking up, the middle two masts having gone overboard, the boats returned, and being got aboard and made fast, the Norham Castle proceeded for Natal at 12.50 p.m. Four out of the five men, it is believed, succeeded in reaching the shore, but three of the crew, it is reported were washed overboard and drowned before the Norham Castle arrived on the scene; so that four men were drowned out of a total crew of twenty-eight. The wrecked ship proved to be the Fascadale, Captain R.J. Gillespie, of Glasgow, from Java, with a sugar cargo, bound for Lisbon for orders, the name of the Apprentice who swam from her to meet the Chief Officer Mr. Frank Percy Whitehead, being Robert Patrick Gordon Ferries’. In addition to the pecuniary award from the Shipwrecked Fishermen & Mariners Royal Benevolent Society, Wade was also awarded a medal from the Castle Mail Packet Company. With extracts from L.S.A.R.S. Journal No. 37, p. 24-45, relating to the rescue and awards.

The crew, which numbered twelve, together with the captain’s wife, were at once conveyed to the Sailors’ Home, where they received every attention. The captain, L. Wiersma, ... states that the Yminden sailed from the port of Zaandam with ballast bound for Wyboug. All went well until Monday night, when they encountered a fierce gale from the north-west, thirteen miles east of Texel. Captain Wiersma says he has been master of a craft for eleven years, and he never remembers such dreadful weather. The sails were torn to ribbons, and at half-past two o’clock on Tuesday morning the ballast shifted, causing the vessel to heel over. From that moment they were helpless, and expected every moment to be washed overboard. When they began to give up all hope the Lowestoft smack Rival hove in sight, and after lying by the Yminden a considerable time the captain and crew were all rescued by the Lowestoft men at great personal risk, and taken aboard the smack. ....’ With copied extract from the Lowestoft Weekly Press and some other details.
‘Wreck of the Valkyr’ Medal, 32mm., ornate silver medal with gold centre, this engraved, ‘W.B.M.’ (?), reverse inscribed, ‘With Gratitude from the Master & Crew of the Swedish Schooner Valkyr, 28/4/1919’, hallmarks for Birmingham 1913, good very fine £100-140 ‘The Valkyr was a Swedish three-masted schooner built in Sweden in 1901 and registered in Gothenburg. She was originally called the Valkyrien. On Saturday afternoon 26th April 1919, she was on her way from Setubal in Portugal to her home port with a cargo of sardines, cork and salt fish. Off Deal she had taken on a pilot who had taken her into the Thames Estuary, presumably to shelter from the gathering storm. The Valkyr was taken up through the Edinburgh Channel and moored close to the Edinburgh lightship, owing to a strong headwind. Later, on the 27th, the pilot moved the ship down the Black Deep and moored by the Sunk Light Vessel. By 6pm that Sunday evening a SE gale was blowing. At midnight the wind suddenly veered NE causing the Valkyr’s two anchor chains to part. The ship was now at the mercy of the gale and the Valkyr struck the Sunk Sand and about an hour later drove over it into deep water, only to find her rudder gone. The vessel drifted all night and crossed several sand banks bumping heavily. On Monday she lost her foremast and afterwards struck the Margate Sands where she was sighted the next morning. The Margate Lifeboat with Coxswain Stephen Clayson which had already been out that night to rescue 9 crew from the Dunvegan of Boston, was launched at 8am. After much difficulty, they succeeded in rescuing the Captain, the 7 crew and the pilot who were all landed at Margate Pier. The shipwrecked men were well cared for by the local agent of the Shipwrecked Mariners Society. Captain Wessburg went to the Gazette offices to thank all who had helped and later he arranged for the lifeboatmen to receive medals. During the night of Monday 28th April, the Valkyr drove across the Margate Sands and drove ashore dismasted and bow up at Minnis Bay where it was totally wrecked. Its cargo was salvaged, although many locals helped themselves to supplies of coal and tinned sardines. ...’ (Ref. Birchington Heritage Trust Newsletter, September 2004)

With two local farmers, Mr Raine and Mr Bowman, PC Bradley approached the area to see how the sheep could be rescued. The current was too strong and the water too deep that a tractor/trailer was considered. This was requested from nearby Eden Hall Estates, through the good offices of the Stockman, Mr Jackson, but while waiting for the tractor to arrive, PC Bradley collected his own canoe, wet suit, life jacket and rope etc., again through the Stockman, who lent his Land Rover and proceeded to move the sheep to the easiest crossing place. The sheep, however, were reluctant to enter the water and it needed both PC Bradley and Mr Bowman to drive them across to safety. Sometimes they were in the canoe, but mostly they were guiding the sheep, swimming with them to help get them to high ground. Five of the sheep did not survive; they were drowned as they became entangled in submerged branches and fencing’. (Ref. R.S.P.C.A. Records). For the rescue, bronze medals for lifesaving were awarded to P.C. 671 M. W. Bradley and Mr Tom Bowman; Certificates of Merit were awarded to five others.

Netherlands, Royal South Holland Society Medal for Saving Life from Shipwreck, 45mm., silver, reverse inscribed, ‘William Noakes, 22 Januan 1881’, unmounted, edge bruising, very fine £120-160 On the 18th January the steamer Ingerid stranded on the Sunk Sand, in thick fog and a snowstorm. In the evening of the 20th a message about this arrived at Harwich, upon which the lifeboat had to be launched from the harbour, in bitter cold [weather] and a storm at about seven o’clock. It made the trip to Sunk Sand with a crew of 11 men, under the command of the coxswain W. Britton, and the district inspector of lifeboat-stations was also aboard. In the early morning they arrived at the steamer, which had sunk, and the remaining crew had been lashed to the rigging, half-frozen, for two days. With much effort they were taken aboard the lifeboat, being almost half-dead. They arrived at the pier in the morning between 9 and 10 o’clock and were immediately taken ashore and received medical treatment. Captain Van der Hoop, the mate Poppinga, the engineer Heerard, a stoker and three sailors had been saved. On Wednesday-morning a sloop had left the ship with 7 men and two men had drowned trying to get aboard the sloop. However the sloop has not been found, so nine people have lost their lives. The Board of Directors decides to award a gold medal to Mr. A. St. Vincent Nepean, captain of the naval reserve and inspector; the large silver medal to coxswain Wm. Britton and the silver medal and a certificate to the crew members Benjamin Dale (second coxswain of the lifeboat Springwell), William Ward, Alfred Holden, George Fenner, William Morris, Alfred Lee, Robert Scarlett, John Mills, John Lambeth, Robert Fenner and William Noakes’.

Captain St. Vincent Nepean, R.N., District Inspector of Lifeboats and Assistant Coxswain William Britton, of the Harwich Lifeboat, were additionally both awarded the R.N.L.I. Silver Medal Ð voted 3 February 1881. ‘20-21 January 1881: The 438 ton Dutch screw steamship Ingerid of Rotterdam on passage from Norway to Naples, Italy, with a cargo of fish, struck the Sunk Sand, off Clacton, Essex, on 17 January. Seven men left the steamship the next day in one of her boats, whilst two more men were lost overboard, which left the Master and six men lashed to the foremast in bitterly cold conditions. When the wreck was finally reported by the Cork lightship on the 20th, the Harwich lifeboat Springwell set out at 7pm, but the frost had been so severe that a way had to be cut through the ice to the harbour mouth. After a difficult journey the lifeboat found the wreck between 4 and 5am and, at the second attempt, put a line aboard. The lifeboat crew, led by Mr Britton and including Captain Nepean, boarded and helped the survivors into their boat which set off on the return journey. Arriving at the Cork lightship, they encountered the Lowestoft tug Despatch which took them in tow, and they reached Harwich, just before 10am on the 21st.’ (Ref. Lifeboat Gallantry, by Barry Cox)
