An elevated view looking down from the cliffs onto a port side view, 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 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 few people with salvaged wooden cases can be seen on the slip of rock to the left of the image where the lines come ashore. A tug and a sailing ketch are off the starboard side of the Jebba, the latter with its sails furled.

The Jebba was on its way from Nigeria and the Gold Coast when it ran aground in thick fog on 18 March 1907.

The top right corner of the negative has been broken and lost.
