Wreck of the Admiral Van Tromp
Saltwick Bay, Whitby.
Extract from the Whitby Lifeboat history: “Silver Medal awarded to Coxswain Robert Allen and the Bronze Medal awarded to Helmsman Richard Robinson for rescuing a survivor of the fishing vessel Admiral Van Tromp, which was wrecked after grounding on the Black Nab Rock in thick fog, an easterly wind, and a heavy breaking sea on 30 September 1976. When a survivor was seen on a rock Helmsman Robinson drove the D class lifeboat in at full speed, onto a ledge, and the man was grabbed just as a large sea broke over the rock and washed the boat back into the sea.”

Thanks everyone.
The wreck has nestled into the rocks in an amazing way. The vessel is thought to be Dutch, Admiral Von Tromp was a famous Dutch Admiral. It location is Saltwick Bay near Whitby in England.
