An elevated middle-distant view looking down from the cliffs onto the port quarter view 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.

Wooden packing cases are floating in the water off the stern, a large group congregating around the shoreside of a small rock. The cliff face dominates the left side to centre of the image. This is a distant view to negative G14289. A large number of people are on the cliff tops near piles of cargo cases.

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.
