The vessel apparently got beached in November 1927 in extremely bad weather.

Albert Spurgeon, the coxswain of the lifeboat, was awarded a silver medal for gallantry for the rescue of the crew.

26 was very young to be a master. I wonder how many years experience he had.

I would not be surprised if he started at sea when he was 12 or so.

When we had a fishing industry many of our trawler skippers (masters) were in their twenties.
One who was 21 at the time was interviewed on a David Dimbleby BBC programme, with the presenter being absolutely flabbergasted that this young skipper was earning more, at 21 years of age, than the Admiral of the Fleet of the Royal Navy. From that day onwards the skipper was nicknamed  'Admiral'.
