On 9 October 1892, the 667-tonne Norwegian barque Sirene lost its helm during near-hurricane gales. Driven toward Blackpool, Lancashire, the captain guided the vessel alongside the North Pier. In a miraculous rescue, all 11 crew members escaped by jumping directly from the moving, battered the ship onto the pier deck.
Parking - West Street Multi-Storey Car Park: West Street Multi Storey Car Park, located just a 3-minute walk from the base of the pier.
