Sixty years ago - the wreck of the South Goodwin Lightship

[Shaggy Sheep Driver]

From the National Maritime Museum link:

with hurricane class winds and massive swells that the lightvessel simply could not cope with for an extended period of time with only some of her storm anchors in place -

I wonder why only some were in place?

I don't suppose you'd get anyone to do that job these days; months at sea, not moving, for little pay. Brave men.
