On 6 November 1887, the 300-foot iron sailing barque Earl of Beaconsfield, bound from Calcutta to Hull with wheat and linseed, ran aground in dense fog off Aldbrough. The Hornsea lifeboat rescued all 37 crew members safely. The vessel became a total wreck, its bows remaining visible at low tide. Google: https://maps.app.goo.gl/PwQEB8it2F71ZRr57
Walk along Aldbrough beach at low tide to view the exposed bow.
