An elevated view looking down from the cliffs onto the port side from bow of the passenger cargo/liner Jebba (1896) aground broadside-to the cliffs of Bolt Tail, near Hope Cove, Devon. The ship has a slight list to starboard. Lines stretch from the ship to the cliffs where the Breeches Buoy system was used to rescue to the 155 passengers and crew, at least one chimpanzee and three monkeys. The bow is obscured by the cliff-face rock in the foreground. A few people are on the lower cliff-face by the lines ashore with small wooden cases salvaged from the ship. The steep cliffs dominate the right of the picture.

The emulsion side had had graphite line added to enhance some of the rock features.

The Jebba was on its way from Nigeria and the Gold Coast to Plymouth with a cargo of specie, ivory, palm oil, fruit and mail, when it ran aground in thick fog on 18 March 1907. The ship had broken up by summer.
