Helsingborg
The steamer Helsingborg, of Helsingborg, bound from Sweden to Blyth in ballast, stranded in the early morning of the 18th February on the rocks about a quarter of a mile to the south of Cress- well Coastguard Station. Information reached the coxswain of the Life-boat Ellen arid Eliza shortly before 6 A.M., and the boat was immediately launched and proceeded to her. The weather was moderate but very thick at the time, and on the arrival of the Life-boat the captain engaged her to try and salve his vessel. A kedge anchor was run out and every assistance was given to get the vessel clear. For some hours they worked and at 1 P.M. the steamer floated and proceeded to Blyth, her crew of twenty-two hands remaining on board..
