Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of remarks on the tragic events that occurred during a storm off Ramsgate, where several ships were wrecked and many lives were lost. The author, a flag officer in the navy, witnessed the devastation firsthand and was moved to share his observations on the causes of the disaster and propose measures to prevent similar tragedies in the future. The author argues that the lack of sufficient sail on the ships, leading to their inability to navigate the narrow entrance of Ramsgate Harbour, was a major contributing factor to the wrecks. He also criticizes the presence of a large crowd of spectators on the pier, who hindered the efforts of the sailors trying to save their fellow crew members. The author proposes several practical solutions to address these issues, including restricting access to the pier during emergencies, providing financial incentives for saving lives, and equipping the pier with lifeboats and other rescue equipment. Overall, this book is a valuable contribution to the discussion of maritime safety and a testament to the author's deep concern for the well-being of sailors. Its insights on the importance of proper preparation, effective coordination, and swift response during emergencies remain relevant today, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in maritime history or safety.
