THE RAMSGATE LIFE-BOAT: MORNING AFTER A HEAVY GALE - WEATHER MODERATING...BY E.W COOKE. R.A., 1864 CREATOR: J GREENAWAY.
The Ramsgate Life-boat: Morning after a Heavy Gale - Weather Moderating - from the picture by E.W Cooke. R.A., 1864. Engraving of a painting. 'The crews of a pilot-boat and life-boat of Ramsgate, after hearing at daybreak signal-guns from the Goodwin floating light- vessel, have communicated with it, and now bear up for a water-logged Indiaman, the crew and passengers of which have perished during the night, when their boats were knocked to pieces. The Captain, who would not desert his ship, is rescued by the lifeboat just before the vessel founders on the North Sandhead of the Goodwin. The life-boat...is the Ramsgate "self-righting" boat, one built on the plan of those of the Life-boat Institution. This is the same boat which...performed a most important service by saving a hundred and twenty persons, being the whole of the crews and passengers of the emigrant-ship Fusilier, and the ship Demerara, wrecked on the Girdler Sands, off Margate... To be sixteen hours hard at work in the raging waves, fighting a December hurricane, while tons of water are now and then dashed over the boat, and the soaked clothes of the men are frozen stiff by the icy wind - that is a performance which we cannot sufficiently praise'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. The Ramsgate Life-boat: Morning after a Heavy Gale - Weather Moderating...by E.W Cooke. R.A., 1864 Creator: J Greenaway.

VISIT OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES TO SWEDEN: EMBARKATION IN THE ROYAL YACHT OSBORNE…, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Sweden: embarkation in the royal yacht Osborne at Gottenborg - from a sketch by our special artist, 1864. The future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra in Scandinavia. '...the landing-place in front of the yacht Osborne was kept by a detachment of Swedish artillery...The local authorities also erected stands with braziers in them, to show light to the procession, while the carriages of the Royal party moved from the railway station to the wharf. The Royal yacht contributed to this animated night-scene the fire of blue lights, which made it as bright as day, and threw over the upturned faces on the quay, and on the masts and rigging of the ships a glare, from which the scarlet uniforms of the narrow line of marines on the poop-deck shone out more brightly by contrast; and when, by-and-by, the band advanced to play on board during dinnertime, the glitter of the helmets and swords, added to the cocked hats and uniforms already upon deck, made up a very pretty piece of ship effect. The Royal party dined and slept on board the Osborne, which, early next morning, made a smooth passage across the Sound and entered the port of Elsinore'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
