Event and Historical Information:
The ELIZABTH was a wooden schooner belonging to the port of Whitehaven. The schooner was caught in Holyhead roads by the hurricane that blew over the night of 3-4 December 1863. The Holyhead lifeboat was launched and brought off the crew including the master John Greenlaw. The lifeboat was taken out by harbour men and pilots, after the regular crew declined to go. The lifeboat rescued 43 men from 3 others vessels. The total number of vessels wrecked that night between Peniel beach and Clipperau Point was 15 (see also ESPERANCE NPRN and WESTBOURNE NPRN ).
