EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a defining moment in maritime history - the shipwreck of the Greek cargo vessel, Skopelos Sky, at Port Isaac on a fateful day, 15th December 1979. As hurricane force winds battered the coast, this ill-fated vessel found itself at the mercy of treacherous cliffs and rocks. In a valiant attempt to rescue the crew aboard, Padstow Lifeboat braved these unforgiving waters. However, faced with insurmountable challenges, their efforts proved impossible. It was then that courage soared above all else as helicopters swooped in to save every single man from certain peril.
