She was a Norwegian Barque that tried to ride out a howling south westerly gale in the Bristol Channel, with high seas and driving sleet and snow, but dragged her anchors and was driven on to these mud flats on 3rd March 1897. The brave men of the Burnham life boat (The John Godfrey Morris) battled the gale and managed to take the crew of 10 men and a dog off her and to safety. Efforts were made to refloat her but the seas claimed her, and she was sold as a wreck

Dear Roger, Thank you for sharing your work, I have especially enjoyed looking through pictures of Clevedon and Bristol. Truly inspirational. Out of interest, do you always use lens filters or do you use PS to produce the vibrant colours? Many thanks, Holly
