Your focus is first drawn to thelarge 3 masted floundering ship which has run aground & has a severe list shown on the the left. In dramatic rough choppy heavy storm seas. A large section of the front bowsprit and been ripped off the ship and can be seen floating in the seas towards the bottom area. You then notice a life boat filled with crew member sailors, one figure is pointing back towards the sticken ship expressing concern for others trapped on the ship. In the centre is a steam tug boat the Vulcan, it is steaming along with black smoke coming out of its single funnel, the Captain is trying to hold his position wating to rescue the men in the lifeboat, you can see the ships name on the bow, it is an iron steam paddle tug of 140 tons which was built at Blackwall and delivered to Ramsgate in 1858, which was in service & helping during this rescue. Crashing seas are rising up hitting the bow and sides. Over to the right is a third ship and you can also view its name on its portside which is the Goodwin Light. The Goodwin light was one of 5 ships which once guarded the sands.
An interesting combination of mainly dark storm cloud skies above with some small areas of calm blue shining through, with various crashing rolling seas all around the floundering vessel that has run aground on the notorious dangerous Goodwin Sands sandbank which is around 6 miles off the Deal coast in Kent in England. Having such perspective & emotion you can feel the distress the sailors have and the sense of urgency to escape.
The Ramsgate tugs were a series of tugboats used at Ramsgate harbour since the 19th century. The harbour's development coincided with the growing use of the steam tugs that were then being built for the shipping industry.
During this era a considerable amount of the work undertaken by the local boatmen was carried out by these tugs. The benefits of this in regard to the heavier ships in distress was inestimable, but nevertheless the salvage of wrecks soon became an intense and contested undertaking, offering substantial monetary rewards to the boatmen and the tugmen, who were otherwise ill-paid.
Ramsgate's tugs became a regular feature in the harbour unlike the lifeboats they were able haul ships out into open waters against an unfavourable wind or in dead calm conditions. In the 19th century the tugs were kept with "crew on board and steam up, ready to put to sea at a moment's notice.
Goodwin Sands is a 10-mile-long (16 km) sandbank at the southern end of the North Sea lying 6 miles (10 km) off the Deal coast in Kent, England.[1] The area consists of a layer of approximately 25 m (82 ft) depth of fine sand resting on an Upper Chalk platform belonging to the same geological feature that incorporates the White Cliffs of Dover. The banks lie between 0.5 m (1 ft 8 in) above the low water mark to around 3 m (10 ft) below low water, except for one channel that drops to around 20 m (66 ft) below. Tides and currents are constantly shifting the shoals.
More than 2,000 ships are believed to have been wrecked upon the Goodwin Sands because they lie close to the major shipping lanes through the Straits of Dover. The few miles between the sands and the coast is also a safe anchorage, known as The Downs, used as a refuge from foul weather. Due to the dangers, the area—which also includes Brake Bank—is marked by numerous lightvessels and buoys.Notable shipwrecks include HMS Stirling Castle in 1703, VOC ship Rooswijk in 1740.
Biography of the artist William Broome a known 19th Century Victorian British marine specialist artist, he was born in the year 1838. Broome's works have been exhibited & sold at auctions around the world, he died in 1892. He was based in Ramsgate Kent and he had a thorough knowledge of the nautical tides & sea marine sailing. He painted from real life experiences & he loved to paint his marine subject matter in his realism style.
Broome excels in this work which is in our opinion his very finest work. In this particular marine work of art, Broome created such an impressive blend of sea hue colours, especially the way he manipulated his brush strokes to show a great perspective of the sea with his use of green & blue hues.
