General notes

This image was taken after the storm of 24th October 1894.

The www.amounderness.co.uk website includes a copy of this image and tells us " A storm on 24 October 1894. caused a fishing boat, "The Wanderer" owned by Thomas Rimmer, to break loose from her moorings and crash against the cast iron pier supports. Some of the supporting columns were smashed and a section of the deck was brought down and washed away. The pierhead was completely severed from the rest of the pier and could only be accessed via the jetty."
