An elevated view looking down from the cliffs onto the port side, just aft of the broadside, 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.

A number of men are on a rock outcrop jutting from the main cliffs near the lines ashore. A couple of packing cases are nearby. A tug and a sailing ketch are off the starboard side of the Jebba, the latter with its sails furled and anchor out.

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.
