Pitchforth (Photographer and postcard printer) of Saltburn was the photographer of this scene and I know it is the Yendis as the name is quite visible, now known to have come ashore at Cattersty end of Skinningrove beach. According to stories the Captain’s wife was taken ashore and possibly stayed at Timm’s Coffee House, until the vessel could be refloated. Rev. D. Hobman has already advised the Archive: “Captain Henry Hobman was in charge at the time and along with the crew was his wife Annie.” Other information supplied by Rev. Hobman is on the accompanying post.
