The Goodwin disaster
In 1954 the South Goodwin lightvessel broke free from her moorings. The hurricane force winds pushed the ship onto the sandbanks, capsizing her and killing the entire crew of seven. Only one person, a civilian aboard, survived the wreck.
There have been many occasions when the lightvessel moorings have broken, leaving the crew at the mercy of the sea. The Goodwin Sands off the coast of Kent was known in Shakespearean times as, ‘The Great Ship Swallower’ where over hundreds of years, its vast sandbanks have consumed ships and crew.image: Light Vessel South Goodwin;
