Even more rare is the vertical-boilered railway engine (known as \u201dthe coffee pot\u201d) on the left with the train of pig-iron trucks; we\u2019ve never seen an image with these on before, or with a vertical-boilered railway engine.\u00a0 The pig-iron trucks were lowered from (and raised to) the works via a rope incline down Jetty Bank \u2013 a feature still visible to this day. SS Hummersea looks pristine \u2013 we\u00a0 wonder if this was her first trip?\u00a0 Her last according to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission was during World War I, when it was believed she struck a mine and sank. Charles Hannaford advises us: \u201dMy great uncle, Charles F Hannaford, was the Master of the S.S.Hummersea. The ship was lost in December 1915, probably by an enemy mine as my uncle died from his wounds in naval hospital, London on 30th December 1915 and listed as a casualty of war. As the wounds were unlikely to have been caused through the ship foundering in the bad weather and the submarine activity at the time was low, a mine is the most logical explanation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Many thanks to Charles Hannaford and Terry Shaw for the updates.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n<p>An image of Skinningrove Jetty with SS Hummersea moored up for loading, with two steam cranes in attendance, either just before or just after high-tide by the water levels on the jetty wall.
