Scarborough 54

This song, written by The Bridge Shanty Crew, tells the story of the Scarborough RNLI lifeboat tragedy of 8 December 1954. On a day of violent winter storms, the Scarborough lifeboat E.C.J.R. launched to aid local fishing boats caught in a fierce North Sea gale. Battling huge seas and freezing conditions, the crew attempted to return to harbour when the lifeboat was overwhelmed and capsized near the entrance. Five brave lifeboatmen were thrown overboard and three lost their lives that fateful night.
