01/07/2008. Seaham, North East England, on the sea front. Google Street View This memorial is approximately 3 foot (1m) high, commemorating the eight men and one boy who lost their lives in a storm at sea over forty years ago. The inscription reads: REMEMBER THE HEROES This memorial is to commemorate the bravery of the five lifeboat men who lost their lives when, in the stormy seas on November 17th 1962, the Seaham Lifeboat George Elmy capsized with the loss of its crew: John T Miller (coxswain) Fred Gippert (second coxswain) Arthur Brown Leonard Brown James Farrington and all but one of the crew of the fishing coble Economy, to whose aid the courageous men had gone: Gordon Burrell, George Firth, Joseph Kennedy, David Burrell (aged 9) "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John, 15:13). This memorial was unveiled by the Chairman of Easington District Council on 17th December, 1994. More information is available on the official website. UPDATE (May 09): Also this recent article in the Sunderland Echo - the George Elmy has come home to Seaham! See David John Harris' photograph of her just after she arrived. UPDATE: (Jan 10): Restoration of the George Elmy is under way. Once completed, she will be allowed to complete the journey she started so many years ago; sailing into the harbour one last time, before taking pride of place as the main exhibit in the newly refurbished North Dock. |
