Wreck of the SS Rohilla, 1914 - Part Two

 

 First covered a year ago, here - http://electric-edwardians.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/wreck-of-ss-rohilla-1914.html , this date, 30th October, is the anniversary of the wrecking of the SS Rohilla. The Hospital Ship was then subject of an enormous RNLI rescue, and one of the Lifeboats involved is preserved, see here - http://electric-edwardians.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/william-riley-of-birmingham-leamington.html . This year I have some new photographs of the display at the superb Whitby Lifeboat Museum, including a new model installed in February 2012 showing the wreck of the SS Rohilla and one of the RNLI Lifeboats rescuing people from the ship
