During heavy squalls in the English Channel, the Danish barque Aurora Borealis ran aground on the treacherous Goodwin Sands. The Ramsgate Lifeboat was launched from the Kent coast and Coxswain Isaac Jarman and his crew were able to fight heavy seas to rescue the ten-man Danish crew. The feat was featured on the cover of the January 19, 1867 cover of the Illustrated London News. (By John Osborne)
