The Fire at Cowes

The remains of the Watson cabin motor life-boats from Yarmouth, Isle of Wight and Selsey, Sussex. Nothing is left forward but the keels, deadwoods and iron floor-straps. On the left can be seen the forward steel bulkhead of the engine-room of the Yarmouth boat, and beyond it is the steel cabin top of the Selsey boat, falling over, and behind it the top of her engine-room with the capstan on it. (See page 350.).
