During a dense fog on the 15th July the pleasure steamer Cambria, of Scarborough, went ashore between Scarborough and Filey with a large number of passengers on board. The weather was fine .and smooth when she started for an after- noon trip to Filey, but when returning she was caught in the fog and stranded two and a half miles north of the Brigg.

The Life-boats from Scarborough and Filey were both sent out, and the Hollon the Third landed twenty women, three children and ten male passengers.

Others were landed by fishing-boats, but the crew remained on board to help to get the steamer off..
